Check out some of their favorite Somfy automated awnings and solar screens projects:  

Retractable Solar Screens and Striped Awning 

 

This homeowner in Stanford, California had a real problem. Their corner room was basically unusable because it was either too hot or too bright. ERS installed motorized retractable solar screens to provide the temperature control they were looking for. Now they can use the room at any time of day and be comfortable. 

The addition of a motorized retractable awning conveniently provides shade to the front porch with the click of a button, or even from their smartphone with the myLink™ mobile app

This homeowner in Los Gatos, CA was looking for a long-term solution for heat control of their patio entertaining area. The motorized retractable awning not only provides shade during peak hours, but with the Dimmable LED RTS light kit they are able to entertain with comfort at night as well. 

Blue Striped Retractable Awning With Wind Sensor

 

In Orinda, California these homeowners love their deck and spending time relaxing outdoors, but they needed a shading solution for their sunny deck area. This striped motorized awning with crank override installed by ERS was exactly what they were looking for. It helps provide the shade they so desire.  

Plus they can enjoy worry-free time under the awning knowing the Eolis wind sensor is protecting their awning from the elements. Now they can entertain on their deck comfortably at any time of the day.

Things can get pretty toasty in Santa Clara, California so this homeowner was looking for a shade solution for their patio for those hot sunny days. The retractable awning motorized with Somfy’s Sunea motor provides the shade and comfort during the hot peak hours. Because it’s retractable, the awning can be rolled back to have a clear view of the sky at any time.

These homeowners live in the Silicon Valley and they wanted a motorized, retractable awning that could be controlled with an app on their smartphones. Now that the myLink app works with Amazon Alexa, they can even enjoy the power of voice control for their motorized awning.

The clients really enjoy the ambiance and convenience the awning provides. ERS suggested the addition of a Vario Volant, which is the dropdown screen seen in the picture. The additional drop screen blocks those sun rays missed by the awning.
