- In the sector of sun protection, The value of an awning no longer depends solely on its design or its ability to generate shade. Hoy, The real difference is in how you respond to the environment.. Wind, solar radiation or rain are part of a scenario where the climate automation has become an essential element to guarantee security, comfort and durability.
The market is evolving towards solutions capable of acting autonomously, protecting the installation and improving the user experience without the need for constant intervention. In this context, have a specific motor for awnings and a well-integrated range of climate sensors makes a clear difference to both the installer and the end user.
This is precisely the philosophy of SOLTEX, the solution for awnings from Idemo Motors. Beyond motorization, The system has been developed to work together with climate sensors capable of automating the behavior of the awning according to external conditions.
The goal is clear: protect the installation, optimize comfort and offer truly intelligent automation.
Automatic wind protection
One of the most critical factors in any awning is the wind.. An unexpected gust can cause significant stress on the arms., supports and canvas. For this reason, the automatic wind protection It is essential in modern installations.
For this function, Idemo Motors has MOTION, a vibration wind sensor installed directly on the front profile of the awning. Its operation is based on detecting the real oscillations caused by the wind on the structure itself.. When these vibrations exceed the established threshold, The system automatically orders the collection of the awning.
The great advantage of this system is that it analyzes the real behavior of the awning and not only generic environmental parameters.. This allows a particularly effective response on exposed facades., elevated terraces or areas where the wind generates irregular turbulence.
Solar automation and smart control
Today's automation, however, goes far beyond wind protection. Automatic sun management has become another of the pillars of the smart sun protection.
In this area, it stands out AURA wiring, a wind-sun sensor via radio with wired power supply and configurable regulation in 9 levels. This adjustment capacity allows the sensitivity of the system to be adapted according to the real needs of each installation and the level of solar or wind exposure..
Thanks to this automation, The awning can automatically unfold when the light intensity reaches the set level, generating shade autonomously and improving thermal comfort both in homes and in canal spaces HORECA. At the same time, if the wind exceeds the selected limit, The system prioritizes safety and automatically retracts the awning.
For installations where wiring is a limitation, Idemo Motors offers AURA wireless, a solution that maintains the wind-sun functions and regulation in 9 levels, but it incorporates an internal rechargeable battery using a small integrated solar panel.
This allows you to implement advanced climate automation without the need for hardwired power, especially facilitating rehabilitation projects or installations where the intervention on the façade is sought to be minimized.
Within this range, EOLUX provides especially practical functionality. It is also a wind-sun sensor via radio, wired and adjustable in 9 levels, but it includes the possibility of canceling the sun function from a dedicated remote control.
This feature provides greater flexibility to the user. Automatic wind protection remains active, while solar automation can be temporarily disabled when a manual awning control.
The importance of rain sensors
Next to the wind and the sun, Rain is another climatic factor that can affect both the comfort and the conservation of certain outdoor facilities.. For this, Idemo Motors also incorporates specific rain sensors capable of acting automatically in the event of precipitation.
Rain sensor model PLUVIA idrm
PLUVIA It is a radio rain sensor equipped with an internal rechargeable battery using a solar panel.. Its operation allows you to automate the awning's response to rain events without the need for electrical wiring., becoming a particularly interesting solution for outdoor installations where a quick and clean integration is sought.
For your part, RAIN offers the same rain detection function through radio communication, but powered by batteries, providing another flexible alternative according to the needs of each project or installation preference.
The integration of rain sensors allows you to automate scenarios that are especially useful in residential and professional applications., helping protect outdoor spaces or automating the behavior of the awning according to changing weather conditions.
An ecosystem designed for demanding outdoors
This entire ecosystem is found in SOLTEX a solution specially prepared for awning applications. Its specific design for outdoors, along with features like its IP64 protection against humidity and the automatic regulation of the closing of box awnings every 20 cycles, reinforce its approach clearly oriented towards demanding installations exposed to real climatic conditions.
The combination between motor and climate sensors allows creating more safe, efficient and comfortable. And that is precisely the direction the sun protection sector is taking.: solutions capable of anticipating the environment and acting automatically to protect both the installation and the user experience.
because today, automating an awning is no longer enough. The true evolution is in getting the awning to think and act according to the climate.
