Can I add LED lighting, heating or sensors to an awning later?

Some features are best and easiest to specify at the time of order because they’re integrated into the cassette and arms, particularly LED lighting and certain heating options. Others, such as wireless sensors and smart home control, can often be added later.

The majority of folding arm awnings we sell now have an IO protocol as standard meaning they are future proof for any smart app control at a later date. This means for most people control by smart phones from anywhere but also access to creating actions autonomously, such as open the awning at 10am on a weekend and close at 8pm.

Many modern infra red heaters ca be bought separately at any time and there are some LED lighting systems which also can be a retro fit, but usually fixed separately from the awning cassette itself.

If you think you might want lighting, heating or a drop down valance in future, it’s worth telling us at the quote stage so we can recommend a model that allows it.
