Awning and Roller Shutter Automation Kit with Rain Sensor

Description

Automate your motorised outdoor awnings or roller shutters with this complete kit, made to protect windows and frames when the weather turns.
The kit includes every part needed to build it, including a high-sensitivity rain sensor that picks up weather conditions in real time.
With the relay set to monostable operation, the system can close the awning or the shutter automatically as soon as rain is detected, sparing frames from damage and wear. Two trimmers give you fine control over both the sensor sensitivity and the pulse length (from 0.11 to 11.1 seconds), so the unit can be tailored exactly to the job.

The board is compact (69x49x18 mm) and handles loads up to 10A 250Vac/30Vdc, which makes it a good fit for domestic and professional installations alike. Some simple soldering is required to build it (kit version), and full instructions are supplied, with the wiring diagram and a detailed step-by-step guide.

A reliable, smart system that is easy to fit, for more comfort and more security at home or at work.
