I still feel that having a sensor is better than not having one, since listening to the wind manhandle my awning (on the previous RV) was the main reason for a crappy sleep when there is a nice thunderstorm outside.
Best wind sensor for getting a good nights sleep is to not leave the awning out over night. Leaving the awing out over night only tempts the awning gods. They will eventually destroy your awning if you tempt them enough, law of averages you might say. Seriously, I personally think it's just asking for trouble to leave the awning out over night. The last thing I want to do is get up in the middle of the night and roll up the awning in the rain, manual or electric. JMHO
