somfy Eolis 3D WireFree RTS wind sensor - Pure White battery-powered awning protection, 3D motion detection

Somfy Eolis 3D WireFree RTS is a battery-powered wireless wind sensor that automatically retracts RTS awnings when wind reaches your set threshold.

This compact, pure white Somfy wind sensor uses patented 3D motion detection to sense horizontal, vertical and lateral movements and protect fabric awnings from gust damage. Designed for easy retrofit or new-install use, the unit pairs with any RTS (Radio Technology Somfy) motor, sending a wireless retraction command when the calibrated motion level is exceeded. It runs on batteries, stores your settings in memory, and requires no permanent wiring, making it a practical addition to residential and light commercial awning installations.

How does the 3D detection keep my awning safer?

The Eolis 3D WireFree measures movement across three axes so it recognizes complex wind patterns that simple tilt-only sensors miss. That broader detection reduces false negatives and helps the awning retract before fabric and frame experience damaging motion.

• Patented 3D sensor captures horizontal, vertical and lateral movements.
• Responds to complex gusts rather than single-direction shifts.
• Reduces risk of fabric stretching, tearing, or frame strain.

Is installation and setup truly wireless and simple?

Yes — the Eolis 3D WireFree runs on batteries and mounts to the awning without hardwiring, so installation is fast and minimally invasive. Pairing to your RTS motor and setting the sensitivity is done with straightforward programming gestures.

• Battery-powered for cordless mounting on existing awnings.
• Program wind threshold by moving the awning; settings auto-save in memory.
• Built-in low-battery indicator signals when replacement is needed.

Which awnings and controls will this sensor work with?

The sensor is compatible with all RTS-powered Somfy motors and accessories, allowing it to integrate into many existing Somfy setups and third-party awnings using RTS receivers. It can also be used with local Sun Setter awnings that accept RTS controls.

• Works with any RTS motor, remote, or control system.
• Suitable for retrofitting onto many manual or motorized awnings.
• Interoperable with Somfy automation ecosystems for coordinated protection.

How do I maintain and adjust the Eolis 3D WireFree over time?

The unit is designed for low maintenance: battery replacement is the primary task, and the sensor stores your wind threshold even when removed from its base. Regular visual checks and timely battery swaps keep the sensor performing reliably.

• Durable, weather-resistant construction requires minimal upkeep.
• Indicator light warns when batteries are low.
• Stored settings retain calibration during battery or mount removal.

Who is this for: The Somfy Eolis 3D WireFree RTS is aimed at homeowners, installers and light-commercial property managers who want automated, wireless wind protection for RTS motorized awnings. It’s especially useful for people who prefer a simple retrofit solution that pairs with existing Somfy or RTS-compatible controls, and for anyone seeking broader motion detection than single-axis sensors provide.
