So many kinds of ziptrak equivalent blinds for balcony.
Don't know which to choose, any recommendations?

Think all around the same price when I enquire. Still yet to choose though.

Does the contractor need to do site survey before they quote or just give them dimension?
Some need to do site survey, some can based off your floor plan.
Those need site survey usually if the ceiling is of a different height.

I am having ShyZip installed at my place.

I went for their product demo and was impressed with what I saw but as disclaimer, I have not attended any demo from the other mainstream brands like Ziptrak.

I can probably share more after the installation in June.

My cost might not be relevant as my installation is part of a group buy for a new development, hence it's discounted. I can link you up with the contact person, I believe they can come down your place to take measurement for a non-obligation quote.

My package comes with remote control and zwave home integration. Doesn't come with rain sensor I'm afraid.

They don't provide rain sensor as an option.

Since it has zwave integration, I intend to have it integrated with my home automation hub, using either weather forecast API or water leakage sensor to close the blinds.

That sounds interesting! How much for the blinds if I may ask?

I am hesitant to share as it is a group buy pricing - they provided discounted price for residents of the condo as long as the minimum order is attained. Hence, my cost might not provide a realistic comparison.

But if it helps, it's in the range of $20ish psf with zwave integration. You will still need your own home automation hub for integration.

Once it's installed later this month, I will share some photos and my experience.

Thanks!!! Do you happen to have YouTube channel? It seems a trend now for people to share their journey but very tedious

Are there non-motorised balcony blinds? I am worried the motor will fail eventually and I am unable to withdraw my blind

you should check out those motorised ones if u r keen to get those... but at the same time, can also be manually withdrawn.

Is there such option? I went to a couple shops and all of them are either motorised (majority) or manual, cannot combine.
