My awning sensors (I have two electric awnings, one for porch and one for patio (SOB) the sensors can be set for 8, 12, 18 and 21 MPH. They are nice for when a gust of increase in winds come up and you may be inside and unaware. But, when we go off, I push the button and let them retract, why tempt the winds. I have seen awnings that were tied down at CG's, with the owner gone, torn to shreds. I don't know what velocity winds came through, as they were "parked" as in long term. I just think that if you are going to be gone for the day, it is just as easy to pull them in and put them back out. I never found it to be a problem, even with th manual awnings.

I guess the point is that there is something for everyone out there. It is all in what YOU want to have.
