Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Solera Smart Arms wind sensor kit. This is designed to work with the Solera smart arm assembly which is sold separately.Now the wind sensor is designed to automatically retract your awning if severe wind is detected based on the wind setting that is programmed by the operator. So you can actually program the unit and toggle between three different levels of wind sensitivity. Or you can also completely deactivate the wind sensor altogether. It comes with the sensor, the harness, the plug and the mounting screw. It mounts below the drive head on the outer arm and plugs into the wires from the smart arm touch pad by snapping the connectors together.And that's going to do it for today's look at the Solera Smart Arms wind sensor kit..

Glad I got this part to go on the SmartArm controller. I am sure it will save me from worrying about the awning in a wind storm.

Have only received wind sensor, have not installed yet, will know when installed
by: Kristine 06/30/2023
This is an absolute must! We lost our original awning when an unexpected windstorm kicked up on our first camping trip of 2022, so when we purchased a new awning we purchased the wind sensor too. The sensor allows you to set the sensitivity level which is convenient and puts your mind at ease on those windy days.
by: Brad04/07/2023
I ordered the solera smart arm wind sensor and that was the item I received, but the instructions that came with the sensor was the IR security sensor installation guide. At first I thought I received the correct product, but went on line to figure out what I had. Right product, but incorrect instructions. Shipment was excellent and received 3 days after ordering.
by: Humble06/28/2023
I have not installed it yet, but it looks well made, it is small and will be easy to conceal in the cabinet above the door.
by: Kirk08/20/2022
The wire connector running from the recently purchased wind sensor module is incompatible with the factory-installed wire connector leading to the Smart Arm touch pad assembly.

The harness that you plug the Wind Sensor into is located in the outer arm above the top of the wire cover, below the motor head. There may be a black cap over it that needs to be removed.

I love my awning. It is great to be able to operate the awning from outdoors.

As long as you have the Solera Smart Arm this sensor should work for you. What model of awning do you have?
by: Jerry09/10/2022
I'm a mobile RV service tech and so I have a bit of experience with parts and service. I had a customer call me that had awning arms and motor damage due to an unexpected storm. I have a good working relationship with a local parts and service supplier of which I typically source all my needed parts with. They did not have what I needed nor were they able to find available to order what I needed as the manufacturer was out of stock as well as many other retailers. I've found this set with etrailer at a very reasonable price even though it was an upgrade to a Smart Arm. I placed the order on the 6th, received the items on the 8th, and had the installation done on the 9th. Quite exceptionally different and better than all the other options that I found. I also talked with customer service to be sure this product was available to ship immediately, as many times on the internet sites say they have the part in stock, until you actually place the order. The person was very helpful and gave me their direct extension in case I needed anything further. My experience has definitely been well above average in our current market and economy. I plan on keeping etrailer at the top of my list for future needs.
by: James09/20/2022
Product works fine but the arm did not come with the mount for the sensor. Had to rig it in place with straps while dealing with manufacturer (Lippert). Extremely frustrating. eTrailer sends you to Lippert, then Lippert sends you back to eTrailer. Round and round we go!
by: Robert 07/25/2022
The wind sensor works good and gives me a peace of mind if I am away and the wind picks up . It was easy to instal . Lippert makes a good product .

I don't have to worry about the wind ruining my awning anymore! This works excellent! Gives me a sense of security

Product continues to work GREAT! The sensor on my awning has not failed me yet. It is worth the investment!

Gives us peace of mind. We tend to keep it on the most sensitive setting.
by: John04/21/2023
always great service
by: Julie02/26/2022
Everyone I talked to was easy to understand and extremely pleasant, which is unusual these days, sadly. Even though the item was damaged in shipping, and no fault of etrailer, they made everything right in a very timely manner, I couldn’t have asked for better customer service. Great people and great company
by: Steven 11/02/2021
Can't wait to install the wind sensor. Install looks very easy.
by: Glenn04/18/2022
I feel like this is a must have, works great and puts your mind at ease when heavy winds or storms come through.
by: Pat 04/08/2021
The sensor has worked perfectly. You can set it for your desired sensitivity and that worked great in gusty weather.
by: Steve05/12/2022
The awning was realitivly easy to install and works great!

- Which Awning Conversion Kit for 2004 Holiday Rambler Vacationer with 78 Inch Long BracketIt sounds like you measured the bracket on the side of your 2004 Holiday Rambler Vacationer RV and got 78 inches, so in order to convert to a powered awning you'll need either the Solera Manual Pull Style to Power Awning Conversion Kit, White # LC329250 if you've got a pull style awning; or the Solera Manual Crank Style to Power Awning Conversion Kit, White # LC337727 if you've got a crank style awning. This will allow you to re-use the fabric and roller tube by replacing the heads on your...

If what you purchased is the Smart Arm kit then the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit part # LC715123 will work if what you have is the Power RV Awning the Wind Sensor Kit will not work.
view full answer... - How Does Wind Trigger Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor KitI reached out to Lippert, the manufacturer, about what will trigger the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123. They told me that it is not actually a certain miles per hour of wind that will trigger the awning closing with this kit. The way it works is that the kit actually senses vibration in the Smart Arms this attaches to, and that is what the kit senses to know when to close the awning. It has three levels of sensitivity (or can be turned off) that detect different levels of...

You would additionally need 3 Solera # LC715216 eight foot awning rails. You will need LaSalle Briston # 344270341411-1 Butyl Tape for the rail installation. You could add to this the Solera # LC362224 Screen Room. There are not solid wall sun rooms available. Another choice would be the Solera # LC517517 "Smart Arm" powered 20' wide awning. One button...

If you have one of these on your 2015 Lance 1172 camper you will not need any other parts to complete the conversion beyond having wiring ran for power to the awing and interior switch. If you have a different model please let me know what you have. The Wind Sensor # LC715123 is great to have if you plan on leaving your awning rolled...

All you need for this is the Wind Sensor for Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awnings # LC715123. The only other thing you may need is two of the Awning Rail # LC715217, unless you already have the rail (which you will if this is a replacement and not adding a new awning). Also keep in mind the auto level you have won't control the awning, as its Smart Arm...

So you can convert to the Smart Arm awning and add the wind sensor with the conversion kit, and you just need to measure the space you have on your RV wall where the awning arms mount to get the right length. You will need either 63 inches or 69 inches of space straight down, and that...
view full answer... - Is There a Wind Sensor for Solera Power Conversion Kit With 69 Inch ArmsThe Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123 is only something that can be used with the Smart Arm kits, the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit - 69" Arms - White # LC759404 or Black # LC759517.
view full answer... - Can Wind Sensor be Added to Solera 18V Battery Powered AwningIn order to use the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123 you will need to be using the Smart Arm assembly which comes in different sizes and colors (listed below). This kit is not compatible with the Solera 18V Power RV Awning # LC730523 that you referenced so if you haven't purchased or installed the 18V kit yet then I recommend going to the Smart Arm system. The Smart Arm system does use 12V power and doesn't include a battery like what comes with the 18V kit so you'll want to...
view full answer... - Awning to Replace Dometic to Add Wind SensorYou will need to convert from your Dometic power awning to a Solera Smart Arm awning in order to use the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123. The reason is, the sensor is only compatible with the Smart Arm and can't be added to your Dometic awning as-is. You will be able to choose from either black or white in color, and either 63" or 68" arms. - Black: Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit - 63" Arms # LC759516 or 69" Arms # LC759517 - White: Solera Smart Arm 12V...
view full answer... - What Solera Awning Kits Does Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit FitThe Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor part # LC715123 can only be used with the 12 volt Smart Arm assemblies like the # LC759516 and cannot be used with the 18 volt kits.
view full answer... - Solera Awning Flaps In Even Light WindsWind is super frustrating with awnings as the only solution is to roll the awning up to prevent flapping. If yours is flapping in even lighter winds that could mean your awning is wound tight enough and there isn't enough tension in the fabric. You want to wind the roller 14 times to get the correct tension. If you had a Solera Smart Arm awning you could add a wind sensor with part # LC715123 which automatically retracts the awning when it detects wind based on three sensitivity settings.
view full answer... - Can Solera Smart Arm Conversion Kit LC759517 Be Controlled By A Remote?The Solera Smart Arm 12v Power RV Conversion Kit # LC759517 you were looking at can only be controlled via the included switch which will need to get installed on your RV, or by the buttons on the arm. You will not be able to re use your current remote. This kit does give you quite a few upgrades over your current system by allowing you to add on a wind sensor # LC715123, infrared sensor # LC715124, and LED light kit # LC674282. I included a few video reviews for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Which Powered Arm Conversion Kit Can Be Used with A.E. Manual AwningYes; the only difference between the Solera Smart Arm # LC759517 and # LC759405 is going to be the color of the arms. You can use either one of these to upgrade your existing A.E. manual awning but you can also use the Solera 12v Power Awning Conversion kit # LC434724 which does not have the "Smart" features available to add on, but still provides you with a powered awning conversion kit. The difference between the two systems is that the Smart Arm kits have a touchpad on the arm that allows...

view full answer... - Replacement 15' Power Awning for 2008 Keystone Montana 344RETWe have one option available for a complete 15' powered replacement awning. That is the Solera XL 12V Power RV Awning # LCV000334950-362243. This will require 78" of space on the wall from the awning rail straight down for each bracket and at least 4-1/2" of clearance between the awning rail and the top of the entry door. This awning is probably a little longer than what you have now with a 9'8" projection but that will give you 20% more shade. Alternatively, you could get the Solera...

Our best option is the Solera Smart Arms # LC759516. They are compatible with the Carefree awnings, so you will be able to replace just the arms and not the entire awning. These awning arms do require 63" of space for the wall mount bracket, so we do suggest measuring to be sure you have enough space on the wall. As long as there is 63" or more, then this will work as a replacement. The arms are also available in white...

Wind sensor has worked as expected. Setting the wind speed has worked well and keeps the awning from getting damaged.
