Huddersfield Awnings with Wind & Sun Sensors — Designed, Built and Installed by One Team
We fit and commission sensor-controlled awnings across Huddersfield and out to Halifax weekly. Wind sensor is standard; sun and rain sensors are common upgrades. All three set to your plot at handover.
Huddersfield customers most often want

Frequently asked questions
Do sensors cost extra to run?
Negligible — battery-powered sensor draws minimal current; the main awning motor draws normally only when operating.
Do you cover Bradford?
Yes — Bradford is 11 miles from Huddersfield and runs on the same schedule.
What happens if the sensor fails?
The awning falls back to manual remote operation. Sensors carry manufacturer warranty and are field-replaceable without dropping the whole awning.
Can I add sensors to an existing awning?
If it's motorised and Somfy/io compatible, usually yes. We survey the awning first — some older units don't support the sensor pairing.
Does the rain sensor cope with West Yorkshire drizzle?
Set to a moderate threshold, yes — the sensor closes the awning on real rain, not on the odd drop. Pennine rainfall and quick temperature swings — glass with a low-e coating is the recommended default.

Next step
Most Huddersfield sensor upgrades pay back in one weather event — a single unretracted awning in a gust is more expensive than the sensor kit.
