Made-to-Measure Awnings with Wind & Sun Sensors in Ilkley
We fit and commission sensor-controlled awnings across Ilkley and out to Otley weekly. Wind sensor is standard; sun and rain sensors are common upgrades. All three set to your plot at handover.
Ilkley plots — what the survey usually finds
Commercial installs cluster around the Grove and Cunliffe Road offices. Residential work runs across stone-built Victorian villas across Ben Rhydding and period cottages on the moor-side lanes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Otley?
Yes — Otley is 6 miles from Ilkley and runs on the same schedule.
Do sensors cost extra to run?
Negligible — battery-powered sensor draws minimal current; the main awning motor draws normally only when operating.
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.
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 it integrate with my smart home in Ilkley?
Yes — io-homecontrol integrates natively with Somfy TaHoma; Home Assistant integration via a compatible hub is common on Ilkley installs.
