Any solution for controlling dumb shutters? (feddit.uk)

We have a bunch of shutters in our living room that don't have any kind of remote control, nor a rod to operate them - you just move any of the individual slats and the rest follow suit.

Is there anything out there that could make these smart? I'm really struggling to find the right terms to search for.

Update: Turns out they are plantation blinds which has helped me to find the sort of thing I'm after. Cheers, Emperor!

Nah that one attaches to the twisty rod thing that you get on normal blinds. I need something more like this but I can't find a non-Aliexpress version. Not that it matters cos I'd need 5 of them and that puts the idea out of my price range for the foreseeable future.
