• Scheduled Automation: With scheduled automation, homeowners can program their exterior shades and patio screens to adjust automatically based on predetermined schedules or environmental conditions. For example, screens can be programmed to lower at sunset to block glare and provide privacy, or to retract during windy conditions to prevent damage.
• Sun and Wind Sensors: Phantom Screens offers optional sun and wind sensors that automatically adjust exterior shades and patio screens based on prevailing weather conditions.

Smart Automation Options for Retractable Awnings

Our motorized retractable awnings come equipped with advanced automation options to enhance convenience and functionality:

• Wind Sensors: Wind sensors automatically retract retractable awnings in windy conditions to prevent damage. By detecting changes in wind speed, these sensors ensure that awnings are safely stowed away during inclement weather, protecting the investment and prolonging the lifespan of outdoor furnishings.
• Sun Sensors: Sun sensors automatically extend retractable awnings when the sun is shining and retract them when sunlight is less intense or during the evening hours. By responding to changes in sunlight, these sensors help regulate temperature and glare, keeping outdoor spaces comfortable and inviting throughout the day.
