Intelligent solar protection

Convenient control of awnings with smart-home technology

Solar protection for balconies, patios and windows is a talking point every summer - especially in view of climate change which is bringing us unusually hot periods ever more frequently. Awnings that can be controlled automatically are particularly suitable when it comes to preventing interiors from heating up. And that is where markilux comes in: for this purpose the supplier offers many different models which can be operated with smart technology.

When it gets warmer outside, you'll soon find out whether you have sufficient effective protection from the sun in your home or garden - especially if the summer heat lasts a few weeks. Awnings are a particularly good solution here as they can shade any surface you want them to - from windows through patios and balconies to conservatories. In this way, they provide pleasant coolness both indoors and out, particularly if they work automatically. All motor-driven models from manufacturer markilux are suitable in this case.

Knowing what solar protection does
Equipped with a radio-controlled io motor, the awnings can also be operated using a smartphone or tablet with the communication technology "io homecontrol". Even awning models with a standard motor can be retrofitted with an io radio plug. markilux uses Somfy's "Tahoma Switch" smart home control centre to control the awnings. The technology works bi-directionally. In other words, the transmitter receives a confirmation as to whether the command it sent to the awning was actually carried out. This allows you to check at any time whether the sun protection is retracted or extended as desired.

Saving energy and enjoying a life of comfort
The awnings can also be integrated into a home automation system so that they can communicate with other devices or with weather sensors. If temperatures rise during the course of the day, the sunshade will extend automatically once a specified temperature has been reached. You are also on the safe side when the wind gets up because, thanks to smart home technology, awnings retract in good time. The joint operation of window blinds and patio awnings can also be coordinated perfectly using smart functions. This ensures a healthy and pleasant indoor climate when temperatures outside are soaring and also saves cooling energy.
