Manually operating your sun awning gets tedious the moment the weather turns, and acting too late will eventually cost you the awning itself. A weather station takes that worry away. It measures wind, rain, and sun, and controls your awning automatically based on rules you set yourself.
Installation is manageable within an hour. You place the weather station in an open spot, connect it to your smart home system via the app, and program when the awning should roll in or out. If it retracts automatically during wind gusts above 30 km/h, you never have to think about it again. And once you get a taste for it, you can expand to lighting and heating that respond to the weather too.

Place the weather station in an open spot outside, securely mounted and free of obstructions, so it accurately measures wind, rain, and sun.
Suggestion: Choose a compatible station that works with your smart home system.Connect the station to your smart home platform via its app and follow the installation steps.
Set up rules: have your sun awning retract when wind speeds exceed 30 km/h or when it rains, and roll out when there is enough sun.
Fine-tune the sensitivity of the sensors and adjust your settings per season for the best results.
Expand by having your lighting or thermostat respond to the weather too, for a truly responsive home.
