Sensors that raise your screens when the wind picks up and lower them when the sun gets strong, so protection happens on its own.
Weather changes faster than we can walk to a switch. A wind sensor watches for gusts and raises the screens before they are stressed. A sun sensor lowers them when the glare gets strong and raises them when clouds roll in. Together they protect the screens and keep the patio comfortable even when you are not home.
We mount sensors where they read the weather accurately, link them to the motors and program thresholds that suit your patio. We show you how to override the automation, set the sensitivity and test the system, so it works as a helpful assistant and not a surprise. Good automation is invisible. Thresholds that are too sensitive make screens bounce up and down with every passing cloud, while thresholds that are too relaxed fail to protect them. We tune the settings over the first weeks of use if needed, and we are glad to adjust them after you have lived with the system through a few different kinds of weather.
A small device on the roof or beam measures wind movement. If it exceeds a threshold, the screens retract to protect themselves.
A sun sensor measures light and lowers solar screens when it is bright. Delays prevent constant up-and-down in passing clouds.
We set levels that fit your exposure and habits. You can adjust them later as you learn what feels right.
You can always raise or lower screens manually. Sensors are an aid, and severe weather still calls for common sense.

You tell us about the patio, the bugs or sun that bother you and the timeline, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the patio, feel the sun, check the beams and columns, show fabric samples and talk through the layout.
We measure every opening carefully, write a proposal and coordinate any association approvals or electrical permits.
Your screens are made to size, then housings, tracks and motors are mounted and wired.
We set limits, pair remotes and keypads, check the seals and test every screen through full cycles.
We show you every control, share care tips and leave you to enjoy your first evening outside.
No. Sensors help, but raise screens manually in severe weather.
Only if it senses enough light. Delays prevent constant movement.
Yes. You can override or disable it.
Many are battery or solar powered. We explain the options.
Often yes, depending on the motor.
