That search is a great idea. One company came up 4 times, autoslide. The one company not represented in TV. I will call them anyway, maybe they have a sister company in this area.

In case of fire I assume all is depowered and we’re back to manual. Interesting if they have battery backup.

This project is not a project I would do as a DIY. I want a warranty. I recall my uncle in NY had something like this 30 years ago and the unit failed on a regular basis.
