We have a TEK10 home which can sometimes get to warm due to the sun.
Still we want to use the sun as a part of the heating of the house in wintertime.
The solution we chose was screens for the windows.
It also keeps the mosquitoes out when opening the windows and less reflections when watching movies in the summertime – all together a win win.
For this solution we are using this Somfy integration and Aqara vibration sensor for register the tilt when opening/closing windows.
Based on lux values from light sensor in the garden screens triggers positioning of the screens.
