Shade system auto-extends based on sun’s intensity

Published On: December 1, 2009

Problem: Retractable awnings save energy, but may require regular attention to maintain maximum efficiency.

Solution: The Sunis WireFree™ RTS Sun Sensor from Somfy Systems automatically extends awnings, solar screens or blinds using Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) based on the intensity of the sun. The sensor is powered by a solar cell, providing energy savings while protecting customers from UV rays and solar heat. True to its name, the sensor does not require any wiring and is easy to install and program. The sensor is compatible with Somfy RTS controls and motors.
