How does Somfy app control work on an electric awning?

Somfy powered electric awnings use Somfy specific motor units paired with wireless controls and a smart hub system (such as TaHoma Switch or Connectivity) so you can drive the awning from an iOS or Android app.
Download the Somfy app for free and set up your awning from there.
Once paired, you can open or close the awning, make it stop in certain positions and group it with other Somfy devices, including sensors such as thermometers. Also then create timed scenes so, for example, the awning extends automatically on summer afternoons for a period of time and then retracts.

With any automatic opening protocol you must ideally always have a wind sensor or motion sensor included so the awning will retract in bad windy weather in case you are not around to do so.
