Alpha S001 sun and wind sensor

The Alpha S001 sun and wind sensor is a fully programmable, solar-powered automation device designed to protect and optimise outdoor blinds and awnings powered by Alpha WSER Series motors. By continuously monitoring sunlight intensity and wind speed, the Alpha S001 sun and wind sensor triggers automatic extension or retraction of blinds, ensuring comfort, energy efficiency, and reliable protection from weather damage.

The unit features 5 adjustable wind speed levels and 9 programmable light intensity settings, giving users complete control over sensitivity. In all modes, wind overrides sun to safeguard awnings and outdoor blinds from high-wind conditions. If preferred, the sun sensor can be disabled entirely for wind-only operation.

Powered by an integrated solar panel and rechargeable internal battery, the device requires no wiring and installs easily on awning front rails or nearby surfaces. It communicates wirelessly using 433.92 MHz rolling codes, ensuring secure and interference-free connection with Alpha WSER motors. Its LED display provides real-time feedback on wind and sunlight levels for precise programming.

The Alpha S001 sun and wind sensor is ideal for outdoor blinds, patio blinds, alfresco awnings, and any situation where hands-free weather automation increases safety and convenience.
