Once upon a time I took your approach. But now I realize the electric awnings are just too flimsy to survive a strong wind.
I put my stuff under the fiver overhang for the night and just press that button and not worry about any overnight gust or what the weather is going to do.
I awake and push that button again and all is well.
I no longer feel the need to protect my table/stuff with the awning overnight.
It's not worth the risk.
Mother Nature can easily destroy our flimsy awnings despite our best attempts to strap them down with various gadgets
I feel little risk if any, since my various gadgets have proven themselves on more than one occasion, including the one when the ranger station 1/4 mile away recorded 70 mph gusts and 45 mph sustained winds.
