jkp thanks for reply. Did see discussion of ZRTSII. Concern is expensive and don’t believe automatically retracts awning if windy or rain.

that is why I mentioned to contact @ZebraBlinds and see what price is being offered. I have a sunsetter and I use webcore to retract on high wind or bad weather using ZRTSII

@jkp I’m interested in the sunsetter are you happy with your purchase and does it block the sun as good as it claims? and are there any problems that you have encounter with the sunsetter.

Have 10 year old, 20’×12’ model. Been fantastic. Bought on EBay and paid to install (as indicated, I’m cheap).

I like it. It provides shade for my very sunny back deck. YMMV depending on size and placement. No problems as yet after 5 years of use.

Key is to protect from high wind and rain. Either can easily destroy. Have helpful automatic wind sensor from Sunsetter (via Amazon). But always careful to close when away or at end of day. Best of luck.

The ZRTSI coupon still works. SmartThingsZRTSI The item is here: https://www.zebrablinds.com/channel-z-wave-rts-bridge

Is the final price $151.01 or a coupon for further savings?
