- Awnings have come a long way from humble beginnings as simple protection from the sun to becoming a multifaceted tool that improves our quality of life and the built environment..
- Idemo Motors designs solutions for the automation of awnings, amplifying its functionality, style and sustainability.
The awning has been an essential component in architecture and daily life since ancient civilizations.. Already in Ancient Egypt, woven papyrus was used to provide cool shade during the hottest days..
This practical solution has evolved over time to offer protection from the elements as well as a style statement and energy efficiency..
Made with simple fabrics, animal skins or branches, Awnings became a common feature in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures, where they were used in markets, squares and homes to protect themselves from the sun. It would not be until Roman times, when these would become more elaborate elements, with decorative fabrics and wooden structures that provided both shade and social status.

In today's modern world, Despite all the technological advances experienced over the centuries, The awning remains an indispensable tool in architectural design and everyday life. And it is that, according to recent studies, can block between 90 % and the 99 % of ultraviolet and infrared rays, reducing the sensation of heat and the temperature of a room between 2ºC and 5ºC; which greatly improves both comfort and energy efficiency.
All this thanks to the fact that its main manufacturers have continued to innovate to meet the changing needs of society., reaching current modern solutions with sophisticated motorized systems.
Idemo Motors, leaders in automation solutions for sun protection
In this sense, Idemo Motors, leading company in comprehensive systems for the motorization and intelligent control of sun protection systems, has emerged as one of the companies that is innovating the most in design, manufacturing and development of awnings today.
Its sensors and motors designed specifically for implementation in awnings are not only capable of improving their functionality and comfort., but also offer a number of additional benefits in terms of energy efficiency, security and customization for users.
Among its ranges, its Aura range sensors stand out., capable of detecting the wind operating both autonomously, thanks to a solar panel that charges the internal battery of the automation (Solar Aura), as by wiring (Aura wiring). Beyond its operations, They are compatible with the entire Idemo range thanks to the idrm protocol, allow controlling one or more motors and, above all, They shine for having a regulation of up to 9 degrees of sensitivity. In addition to all the previous characteristics, your solution EOLUX It also allows the cancellation of the sun function from the remote control.
Closing its sensor offering are the Motion, specifically designed for wind detection ready to operate without any type of wiring, thus guaranteeing easy and comfortable installation. Finally, Their integrated batteries give them autonomous operation with long durability over time..

Idemo motors for awning automation
But if something has characterized Idemo's career, it is his motors for sun protection solutions. In this section, their Limit engines 45 They have an electric motor with integrated radio, self-test functions of the protection and control system, stop due to blockage or obstruction and allows up to four intermediate positions to be recorded optionally, in addition to the upper and lower limits. Besides, allow full regulation from the control point and change the direction of rotation after having closed the programming, which makes it the perfect solution to be integrated into the Ideohome system.
The next step is the serie Limit 59, featuring a motor with electronic limit switch and integrated radio that can automatically adjust the limit switches, along with all the features of the Limit series 45.
