Consider installing it tucked up under the awning near the sidewall. That way it's protected, but can be used even when the awning is rolled up. I did that with one having a remote, and mounted the controller in the porch light. I use the porch light switch to turn it on/off, and can also use the remote to control color/brightness (it's an RGBW strip).
