Don’t know if of help. I use a wind sensor from Amazon (EOLIS 3D WIREFREE RTS : WHITE (MPN#1816081 $185)) to automatically close awning upon high wind. Also have a Smartthings open/close sensor between the support arms so I can remotely tell if awning open or closed. I created an automation to send alert if open after 9:00 PM.
Would like ability to open and close when away. Understand possible but rather expensive.
Hope helps,
Hervé
