Common questions
What does the Ondeis Rain Sensor do?
Part 9016344 is a wired Somfy sensor that detects rainfall and sets exterior shading in motion to protect awnings, pergolas and screens from rain damage. Somfy tunes its rainfall measurement to avoid excessive sensitivity.
How is it powered and wired?
It runs on 24V DC and takes its power through a Somfy Outside Sensor Box. Somfy lists a 4-wire connection cable and 1.1 W of standby consumption.
Is it built for outdoor mounting?
Yes. Somfy rates the Ondeis IP 44 with Class III insulation and lists an operating range of -22 °F to 158 °F. The white housing measures 2.76 in by 3.94 in by 5.12 in.
What does it connect to?
Somfy connects the Ondeis to its Outside Sensor Box, which powers the sensor and passes its signal to the shading system. Somfy also lists it as compatible with its Pergola Tilt 24V motor system.
Is there a wire-free RTS version?
Yes. The Ondeis WireFree RTS Rain & Sun Sensor (9019617) adds sun sensing and works with RTS motors over radio. Choose the wired 9016344 when your project runs through an Outside Sensor Box.
