Dometic power awning

My awning is powered in and out. It is supposed to retract automatically with high winds. It never has retracted automatically for me regardless of wind velocity. Anyone here ever had theirs retract automatically?

  • We have the Dometic Automatic awning. It worked great for the first year or so, great meaning it automatically rolled up when the wind got too strong. Then it started rolling up with the slightest breeze. I followed the manual instructions and cleaned the sensor and it worked properly again. Not long ago it started acting up again, cleaned sensor but that did no good so I shut off the inside wind control. When I turned on the wind sensor a few days later the awning started working normally again.
  • Do you have an adjustment you can set for the automatic retraction?
