Bioclimatic pergolas can have LED lighting and a remote; rain and wind sensors are not fitted because something could get caught between the louvres. Albert Genau's difference is long-lasting, rust-free accessories.
Short answer
SkyArt Group, an authorised Albert Genau manufacturing dealer, offers LED lighting and a remote on bioclimatic pergolas. Rain and wind sensors are not fitted because something could get caught between the louvres, and we are not working on this at present. The difference of Albert Genau systems is long-lasting, non-degrading, rust-free accessories. (We are not the official Albert Genau body; we speak from our own experience.)
What is available and what is not
| Accessory | Status |
|---|---|
| LED lighting | Available |
| Remote | Available; one remote is paired per unit |
| Rain and wind sensor | Not fitted |
| Zip screen (side enclosure) | Can be added as a separate product |
LED lighting
LED lighting on a bioclimatic pergola extends evening use of the terrace. See the Kalamış roof terrace project for the night look.
Remote: no spare pairing in advance
One remote is paired per product; a spare cannot be paired beforehand. If it fails, service pairs a new one. If it does not work, check the switch and battery first (remote not working).
Why no sensor?
Rain and wind sensors suggest automatic closing, but an object could be trapped while the louvres close. So we do not fit them. Keeping the louvres closed in rain, snow and wind is the user's responsibility.
Electronics protection: voltage regulator
Unstable voltage can damage the electronic boards; we recommend a regulator (motor and electronics). There is no manual closing lever if power fails; a backup power supply (UPS) is recommended.
Why accessory quality matters
Outdoors, sun, rain and humidity wear accessories down. Rust-free, durable accessories reduce maintenance and faults over time. Regular care is still needed: maintenance guide. For model differences see EcoSky, piston, scissor.
