Whether you already use timers for your blinds or not, the Automate Internal Sun Sensor takes automation to the next level. Timers move your blinds at set times, but sunlight isn’t always predictable. Clouds, seasons, and changing light angles can throw off even the best schedule.

That’s where the Internal Sun Sensor comes in. This compact, battery-powered device detects real-time sunlight intensity and adjusts your blinds automatically — protecting furniture and flooring from UV damage, keeping rooms cooler, and reducing glare.

It’s the perfect upgrade if you don’t have timers, but just as useful if you do. With one sensor able to control multiple blinds at once, your whole room can react naturally to the sun without you lifting a finger.


🌞 What Is the Automate Internal Sun Sensor?

The Automate Internal Sun Sensor is a discreet device that measures sunlight intensity and sends commands directly to your motorised roller blinds. Using Automate Radio Communication (ARC™) — Rollease Acmeda’s trusted 433MHz wireless technology — it keeps your shades moving automatically for comfort, convenience, and protection.

🏠 Why Add a Sun Sensor?

Timers are great if you want blinds to move at the same time every day. But sunlight isn’t always that simple. The Internal Sun Sensor reacts to real conditions:

  • Stay cooler by lowering blinds when direct sunlight heats the room

  • Protect floors, rugs, and furniture from fading

  • Reduce glare on screens and glass

  • Add natural automation even if you already use timers

  • Control multiple blinds with one sensor for whole-room comfort


✅ Final Thoughts

The Automate Internal Sun Sensor is more than a convenient add-on — it’s a smart way to protect your home and improve comfort. Whether you don’t use timers at all, or already have them set up, the sensor gives your blinds the ability to react to real-world sunlight in real time.
