Maximize Your Smart Awning Experience With Climate Sensors

Smart awnings create convenience and comfort

By motorizing your patio's awning, you can let automation take care of the details. When the sun’s rays trigger the Sunis Outdoor WireFree RTS ™ Sun Sensor, the awning can automatically extend over the dining area or sitting space to keep you and your guests cool and comfortable.

Intense sunlight can cause fading and damage to outdoor furniture, upholstery, and interior spaces near windows. By automatically extending the awning when the sun is strong, the Sunis Outdoor WireFree RTS ™ Sun Sensor helps protect furniture from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for replacement or repairs.

Extend the lifespan of your awning and furniture

With the Ondeis® Rain and Solar Sensor, it is also possible to program your awning to retract to prevent it from getting wet. By retracting the awning when rain is detected, the sensor helps protect the fabric of the awning from water damage, staining, or mold growth. This ensures the awning remains in optimal condition and extends its lifespan.

Strong winds can  exert considerable force on extended awnings, potentially leading to structural damage or fabric wear and tear. If you leave home and forget to retract your awning and a storm rolls in, you can breathe easy. With the Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS Wind Sensor, the increased movement will be detected and your awning will retract so that it is not damaged by wind. This can extend the lifespan of the awning and save you money on repairs or replacement.

The Eolis Wind Sensor also offers adjustable sensitivity settings to accommodate different wind conditions and personal preferences. You can customize the threshold at which the sensor triggers the awning retraction based on wind speed or other parameters. This flexibility allows you to optimize the sensor's performance according to your specific location and weather patterns.
