1. It is NOT an HWH controller. Do not know where you get that info.
2. 10 years old. Need to know what type of controller(sensor) you have. From your description, it appears you have the controller with the yellow LED lights. That means the sensor is on the top of the front Awning arm. It is that chrome piece at the top. It senses MOVEMENT of the awning tube, NOT really wind speed. So, if the tube/arm moves, it determine there is wind. Then it retracts. Usually you replace the Sensor and the inside controller as a matched unit. Doug
