Frequently asked questions
What warranty?
Sensor to 2-5 years depending on model; awning fabric, motor and structure as normal.
Price for a sensor kit?
Wind sensor typically £180-£280 fitted; sun sensor £150-£220; rain sensor £220-£320. Kit prices for combined install are lower.
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.
Do sensors cost extra to run?
Negligible — battery-powered sensor draws minimal current; the main awning motor draws normally only when operating.
