An awning motor extends and retracts a compatible awning using a wired or radio-based control. The available operating concept is determined by the awning model and the planned installation.

For selected WAREMA awnings, the available drive options include wired and radio-controlled electric motors. A solar drive is available for compatible window awnings where additional mains cabling is not planned.

Depending on the selected awning and motor, obstacle detection can identify resistance while the awning is extending and stop the movement. This can help limit mechanical strain if the awning encounters an obstruction.

Availability and response behaviour depend on the product configuration. A WAREMA specialist retailer can confirm which awning motor combinations support this function.

A compatible wind sensor can be combined with the awning motor of selected patio awnings.

When the configured threshold is reached, the sensor sends a command to retract the awning. The function supports automated operation but does not guarantee protection in every wind event. Product limits, settings and installation conditions must be observed.

For compatible window awnings, an awning motor with a solar drive enables electric operation without a direct mains connection at the installation point. This can reduce the need for additional cabling in suitable modernisation and retrofit projects.

Product compatibility, installation requirements and the available solar exposure should be assessed by a specialist retailer before the system is specified.
