I redesigned the original case of pgote so that it's capable to:
1) keep the PCBs in place
2) to use a proper power connector
I currently adjusting the design and the electronics to support two alternatives:
1) Support for a manual switches
2) Support for a capacitive touch slider
With those additions I can skip the embedded web server so that I do not need any mobile phone with me just to adjust my blinds.
The code for the controller including the manual switch can be downloaded here:

2020-10-15: WARNING: DO NOT connect the motor driver directly to a NodeMCU like it looks like in the picture! The regulator of the NodeMCU gets REALLY HOT as the driver draws far too much current. Make use of a step-down bucket instead (it's a tiny Pololu buck converter I use behind the NodeMCU.
