The 5816 has a built in switch which would mean the transmitter box has
to be mounted on or next to the moving part of the window.  This causes
the problems you alluded to earlier.

It also has connections for the smaller wired-type recessed switches.
This will allow the transmitters to be hidden from view with a wire
fished to the window attatched to a small hidden contact that will not
only leave your blinds unmolested but will be hardly (if at all)
noticable.

Since you are concerned about how the transmitters will affect your
window treatments, you should ask the company about this option.
