The present invention relates to a control system for automatic calibration of a blinds system installed in a room comprising: a controller (1 8 9) having a memory a clock and a processor an occupancy sensor (2 7) an interior light sensor (3 7) an exterior light sensor (4). The control system is characterised in that the control system is arranged to run an automated calibration of the blinds system when the exterior light sensor indicates an outside light level above a predetermined threshold the occupancy sensor indicates that no person is present in the room and a predetermined time has passed since the last calibration. The invention further relates to a method for automatic calibration of a blinds system installed in a room using a control system comprising a controller (1 8 9) having a memory a clock and a processor an occupancy sensor (2 7) an interior light sensor (3 7) an exterior light sensor (4) the method comprising the step of: running an automated calibration of the blinds system when the exterior light sensor (4) indicates an outside light level above a predetermined threshold the occupancy sensor (2 7) indicates that no person is present in the room and a predetermined time has passed since the last calibration.
