This Incredible Tool (preventing insolation) That Our Ancestors Used To Keep Cool In The Summer.

Yeah, they cost money. So does installing air-conditioning. But they use no energy ( that’d would be bad for fossil energy-producers).

    he mentioned that there are ones you can easily put down when you don’t need them and said that if awnings were to become a thing he’s sure they’d become smartified with some iot bullshit.

      Biggest issue is that movable awnings would be more fragile, and fixed awnings are ugly and permanently block light.

      Not sure they’re coming back anytime soon.

          That sounds amazing. Since I have an HA setup as well I’ll see if that’s an option here. We have a lot of South facing, large windows.

            You don’t need smart motors or smart awnings, just a normal motorized awning connected to your smart switch of choice. I have bticino zigbee switches for the shutters, and shelly wifi ones for the awnings.
