Adjusting shades used to be a manual, per-window task done a handful of times a day. Today it's a background task — an app, a schedule, or a single voice command handles the room.
The convenience payoff is high and the cost of automation has fallen. Once one room is on a schedule, most homeowners want the rest of the house on it too.
Motorize the rooms you use most first. Set two or three simple scenes (morning, evening, bedtime) instead of automating every window individually — the payoff is bigger with less complexity.
Voice control usually does, since the hub talks to Amazon or Google. Manual and scheduled control still works if the internet is down.

No — most apps have simple 'raise at sunrise / lower at sunset' presets that take a few taps. Custom schedules take a few minutes.
