Antuator Developed the ANT-17 Controller Specifically for the Awning and pergola Market

In the realm of outdoor smart applications, awning systems present uniquely demanding challenges. As a technology company deeply rooted in the electric linear actuator industry for years, ANTUATOR Technology is committed to its mission: "Providing the optimal linear motion solutions for global customers." Through extensive collaboration with system integrators, we identified a critical market need: the awning controller segment urgently requires a product that delivers genuine stability, reliability, flexibility, and intelligence.

Thus, the ANT-17 Awning Controller was born.

Addressing Critical Market Pain Points
Our partnerships revealed widespread issues with existing awning controllers:

·         Poor Stability: Frequent crashes or operational failures.

·         Low Reliability: High failure rates in harsh outdoor environments.

·         Insufficient Flexibility: Difficulty adapting to diverse awning system configurations.

·         Lack of Intelligence: Incompatibility with modern smart home ecosystems.

For export projects especially, remote device failures incur high after-sales costs and slow repair responses. This damages customer experience and severely impacts partners' brand reputation. Awnings, as quintessential outdoor applications, face extreme conditions – high/low temperatures, rain, and electromagnetic interference – demanding exceptional controller stability and adaptability.

Meeting Diverse System Integrator Needs
System integrators require versatile solutions for awning systems:

·         Small projects might need just single-zone louvre control.

·         Large systems often require dual-zone synchronized driving.

·         Lighting needs vary: from single-color LEDs to dual-zone LEDs + RGB effects.

·         End-users increasingly demand easy operation: simple remote pairing, adjustable louvre angles, smart speaker integration, and remote control via mobile apps.

Traditional controllers with fixed modules simply cannot meet these evolving market demands.

Introducing the ANT-17: ANTUATOR's Engineered Solution
After over two years of dedicated R&D, ANTUATOR proudly launched the ANT-17 Awning-Specific Controller in May 2025. This product is our systematic response to market pain points, embodying our technical expertise.

ANT-17 Key Features & Benefits:

1.    Robust Awning Control (Solving Stability & Reliability):

o    Supports 2 independent actuator channels (50W max per channel).

o    Compatible with both Hall-effect and non-Hall-effect actuators.

o    For Hall-type: Flexible stroke limit setting, synchronous or independent control.

o    Real-time monitoring: Over-current protection, sync error alarm, signal loss alarm.

o    Strong compatibility for easy integration and system upgrades.

o    IP65 Rated Enclosure: Weatherproof design withstands sun, rain, dust, and EMI for reliable outdoor operation. Industrial-grade components ensure long-term stability.

2.    Advanced Lighting Flexibility (Solving Diverse Configurations):

o    Supports 4 independent LED channels (100W max per channel).

o    Freely configurable modes: Single+Single, Dual+Dual, Single+RGB, etc.

o    Enables richer, more dynamic lighting experiences.

3.   Seamless Smart Integration & Control (Solving Intelligence & Usability):

o    Supports traditional 433MHz remotes (one-touch pairing).

o    Features Bluetooth & RS485 bus protocol for easy third-party system integration.

o    Tuya WiFi Platform enabled, compatible with Xiaomi, Amazon Alexa, Google Home ecosystems.

o    Mobile App for remote control and real-time status monitoring.
