Solar protection
Weather stations are used to control solar protection systems of all kinds (roller shutters, blinds,
awnings, etc.) via appropriate solar protection actuators. Recording weather data such as temperature,
brightness and wind and using an integrated blind controller allows safe, convienient and energy-
efficient shading control building-wide.
