Shading
Shutters and blinds move according to sun position, weather and time of day – it stays cool in summer, and they are protected in storms.
What is possible
Shading only on the side where the sun is right now.
In wind, rain or frost, awnings and external venetian blinds automatically move to safety.
Up in the morning, down in the evening – to suit the season.
Closed on hot days while nobody is at home.
External venetian blinds let light in but keep direct sun out.
If the patio door is open, the shutter stays up.
Good to know: Shading
Your benefit
Automatic shading keeps the heat out in summer, protects furniture and floors from fading and lets the sun warm your home in winter. In wind and rain, awnings and external venetian blinds move to safety on their own – even when nobody is at home.
How we do it
Shutters, blinds and awnings are controlled via actuators and linked to sun position, brightness, temperature and time of day. A weather station supplies the data for wind and rain protection. For IP-Symcon we use our own shading module, which can be finely tuned to every façade.
What to expect
What matters is the number of drives and whether motors are already fitted. Electric shutters can usually be integrated directly; manual belt winders are replaced with motors. We particularly recommend a weather station for awnings and external venetian blinds.

Frequently asked questions: Shading
Can I keep using my existing shutter motors?
Usually, yes. Electric drives are controlled via actuators, and belt winders can be replaced with motors.
Do I need a weather station?
Not for sun position and time. For wind and rain protection of awnings and external venetian blinds we recommend one.
Can I override the automation?
Yes, at any time via switch or app. If you wish, the automation takes over again afterwards.
