Awning Wind and Sun Sensor
From $150
All prices include GST.
The DC8811 is the wireless weather sensor that lets a motorised awning look after itself. It fixes to the wall with two screws, charges from a solar panel on its back, and talks to the awning motor over the same 433 MHz radio your remote uses, so nothing is wired into the awning and nothing is wired into the house. Set a wind speed and the awning retracts on its own when the wind gets up, whether you are home or not. Set a light level and it extends when the sun comes round, then retracts again when the light drops away. Switch the rain function on and it brings the awning in when the detection grid on the back gets wet. Every AW01 Full Cassette Awning ships with one included - a $150 value that most suppliers charge extra for - and it also pairs with the B06 Premium Open-Arm Awning and any awning in our range running a Dooya E-type, ED-type or R-type tubular motor. A wind sensor is an aid, not a substitute for judgement: retract the awning by hand when a storm is forecast or when you are going away.
