How a smart terrace awning can create that extra room you need

If you live in a house, have you ever considered the possibility of creating an extra room during the summer? You can often do this easily by installing an awning over your terrace. If you go for a motorized smart awning, then you can really make the most of those warm summer evenings.

A smart terrace awning is convenient and makes life more comfortable.

When the sun shines during the day then the awning automatically extends over the terrace – keeping the space shaded and fresh. With the right kind of smart sensors, you can also have the awning automatically extend if there's a sudden summer shower. This keeps your furniture dry and allows you to use the terrace even when it's raining.

By extending the awning in the evening – and turning on a heater – you can sit on your terrace for even longer. When used in combination with a motor and sensors from Somfy, a smart terrace awning is an ideal solution for creating an extra room that you can enjoy during summer.

Smart terrace awnings also provide peace of mind when you’re away. If you’ve installed a wind sensor, it will detect when the wind picks up and automatically retract the awning to prevent any damage.

Awnings protect your furniture from sun fading too. Preventing the need to change sun-bleached fabric or replace the furniture entirely is not only good for your wallet – it’s also better for the environment.

For an even smarter home, take a look at TaHoma switch from Somfy. It allows you to automate even more features for your terrace and awning.

Energy savings are another benefit. A smart terrace awning shields your home from the sun and prevents it from heating up too much during the day. This reduces the need to turn on air conditioning as soon as you come home.
