If your awning has plenty of slope, it can take a lot more then those awning that stick straight out over a slide. Those are worthless and bad engineering. But getting back to the OP, I never would tie down an electric awning. Just make it a habit to never leave for long periods of time with the awning out. Roll it in, and check the weather reports. If it says to expect winds exceeding 25 mph, roll it in.
Like somebody mentioned that sensors will not protect your awning from a sudden gust of wind. I saw a high end Beaver coach in Las Vegas that had an auto roll back system on it. The wind hit so fast it did not have time to retract and bent it all up.
