Adding a retractable awning to your deck, porch, or patio increases the value of your home and allows you to enjoy your outdoor spaces in most kinds of weather.\u00a0 When windy weather strikes, though, it can feel a bit nerve-wracking to keep your retractable awning open.\u00a0 Awnings left open can act as sails in the wind, and on particularly windy days, they may become damaged by strong gusts.<\/p>\n

If you have a motorized retractable awning, though, rather than a manually operated one, you can have peace of mind thanks to a nifty little gadget called a Wireless Wind Sensor<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Based on settings that you choose, the wind sensor monitors the effect of the wind on your retractable awning and closes it automatically when necessary.\u00a0 So,\u00a0when you are away from home or fully engrossed in at-home projects,\u00a0the Wireless Wind Sensor will take care of your motorized retractable awning should the weather take a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
