As long as your Solera power awning is one of the Solera Smart Arm awnings like the Solera Smart Arm Electric RV Awning # LC759517, then you can add the Wind Sensor for Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awnings # LC715123.

The Wind Sensor for Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awnings # LC715123 is only compatible with Solera Smart Arm awnings. So if your awning is not a Solera Smart Arm awning, then you would not be able to use the wind sensor.

You would not be able to use just the Slip Ring #LC330961 to retrofit your current idler head to LEDs, you would need to use the Solera Power Awning Idler Head w/ LED Upgrade - Black #LC334785.
