Powered Blinds-New build

[Ajax]

Couple questions with wiring a new build. So we are building house number 5 This is the 2nd one with Insteon. The last house we did that was not Insteon for my parents and we did a somfy 110V hard wired powered blinds.

The house we are working on now as a lot of large windows in the living room and thinking about powered blinds. The somfy 110V cost is a little too high and I was looking into https://www.selectblinds.com/zebrablinds/lifestyle-zebra-room-darkening-dual-roller-shade.html but that is take rechargable batteries are annoying me. Could a person direct wire something with a 12v wall wart or something, if so what wiring would you use? Or just stop worrying and charge the batteries when they are dead

Below is the only info I found: 

• At least one remote is needed per order. The 5-channel remote allows you to operate up to 5 shades on a single frequency
• When adding a multi-channel/frequency remote, please select 'No Remote' for any additional motorized shades you want to add to and power with it
• Rechargeable remote-control Motorization lift system upgrade includes rechargeable motor battery and charger
• A full battery charge will last up to 4 months based on an average-sized shade raised and lowered once a day. It takes approximately 4 hours to recharge the motor when fully depleted

My wife was curious but I figured the added cost of the curtain materials itself is what would make that option too expensive

I used our existing curtains. I don't remember exactly, but cost of the double rail (dark and sheer curtains) system was about $ 1,000 not including the 2 Mimolites needed for Zwave connection.   It works perfectly, both in wake-up programs and with both Google Home and Alexa. In fact Alexa reaction time is immediate.

I've been looking at the Ikea blinds lately, but the lack of a Tradfri nodeserver and rechargeable battery are putting me off. That said, if a Tradfri nodeserver existed I'd probably get them anyway, the rest of the room runs on micro USB rechargeable so it won't be too bad to 2x/year charge everything when the clocks change.
