What smart features are possible apart from the basic app open or close on an awning?

Beyond the simple app control, many smart retractable awning setups support automation via sun, wind, temperature, light and rain sensors, letting the awning react to weather conditions automatically.
Various sensors are available from Somfy which automatically extend the awning such as when a room gets to a certain temperature with the sunlight. Again, if it is too windy the awning should close itself from the motion or wind sensor always overriding the sun or temperature sensor for safety.

With Somfy based systems, you can also schedule timed events, create scenes (for example, “evening mode” with awning and lights together) and monitor or adjust your awning remotely when away from home.
