io radio motors, remotes and sensors
Somfy
Somfy io is the common awning motor and an option on screens and sails. Remotes, sun/wind sensors and smartphone modules are selected in the configurators — not as a separate Somfy storefront.
Where we spec it
Radio vs crank on /configure/awning. Brand toggle on /configure/screen and /configure/sail. Motorization guide: /learn/motorization.
- Match remotes to the motor brand you pick — Somfy and Dooya do not share channels.
- Wind sensors retract fabric; they are not a substitute for Beaufort discipline in a named storm.
Shadesology models
- Solaris Full-Cassette AwningSealed cassette, 24 ft span, Beaufort 6 rated.
- Aria Zip-Track ScreenWind-stable zip guides up to 24 ft wide.
- Vela Retractable Shade SailSlide-on-wire sails on stainless cable runs.
Questions
- Can I add Somfy later?
- Often yes if the torsion bar was prepped. Pricing it in the builder avoids a second lift.
