Fully second this, we also have Forest. They have proven to be the most reliable Home Automation part in our home. Prices start at about EUR 500, but increase with curtain length (excluding the curtains). Seems like at lot, but having to recalibrate / repair a cheaper system every now and then will be more expensive in the end when your time is valuable.

Is this the kind of thing that requires a professional installation? Any sort of guides or kits available?

You can do it yourself, but if you buy from your local window decoration shop, they will probably install it cheap or even free of charge.
