It’s in the bedroom and times of the year are so bright.
Does anyone know of a smart blind of any style that would work up there? [z-wave, Zigbee, WiFi, esphome, anything that’ll talk to home assistant]
We have smartwing blinds using zwave on other windows but they don’t make any for the angles

I would tint it with 5% window film, or depending on the outside colour off the house, either silver or bronze reflective film
You could order film for the window to protect the heat coming in the house and reduce the brightness as well too. It’s similar to tint on your car.
Shutters? They can be custom made in a variety of impossible configurations. I’ve got Norman wood shutters, but I suspect others can do the same.
No point going with someone else. Norman has like 70% of the market share, and for good reason. Although I only recommend going with wood shutters if you want them stained, or there are weight issues. For standard white shutters, MDF is perfectly fine and will last decades
Perhaps something with smart window foils that can turn dark under a small charge?
I think you’ll find it’s clear when under charge and opaque while off. https://www.wedoblinds.com.au/products/smartfilm/
You are absolutely right, and I shouldn’t be typing before having my coffee
Smart blinds? I’d be frustrated enough trying to find regular blinds that would work in that spot.
Your home designer/builder was a doofus.

Yeah, they should have changed the roof line so the window could be rectangular

Right. The only way to add a window in that space was to add a strange angled one right at the ceiling line. My mistake.

They were probably thinking most people like natural light and threw a window in there. More light in the bedroom during the day isn’t an issue for just people
Window frost
instead maybe just tint with window with UV / heat resistant ceramic film
I’d go a different route and put window film there, maybe tinted or frosted glass
Not sure on Z-Wave but you can get Lutron for angled windows. $$$$ though.
I just want to know who did the mudding and taping. They need to be fired.
A motorized shade is possible but very expensive and you would have to run wire because they take 35V and do not come as battery operated. They are also tension so the casette would be at the bottom and you would have cables running up to the top of the window.
Another solution would be fixed shades by Insolroll - but you wouldn’t be able to open and close it; would be fixed.
Personally i would go for the fixed shade option over tinting.
Tint that bitch and be done
Stained glass stick ons?
Assuming that is not the only window, you can tint it?
Not much of a view, so I would put up some stained glass, there are many who make custom shape. You can have a custom theme.
