Can I add Somfy later?

Often yes if the torsion bar was prepped. Pricing it in the builder avoids a second lift.

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.
