Smarter Awning Systems with ANT-17: Control, Safety, and Flexibility

The Brain Behind Modern Outdoor Awning Systems

In the outdoor shading industry, the controller is often considered the "brain" of the system. It not only drives the electric linear actuators with precision but also coordinates lighting, responds to sensors, and integrates with multiple control methods. For manufacturers, the controller directly impacts product stability, feature richness, and end-user experience.

The ANTUATOR ANT-17 Awning Controller is designed to solve these critical challenges, offering manufacturers a compact, reliable, and feature-packed solution.

Core Functions and Flexibility of the ANT-17 Awning Controller

Dual Actuator Drive for Smooth Motion

·         Supports two 24V DC motors (up to 50W each).

·         Independent or synchronous operation.

·         Soft start/soft stop ensures smooth and impact-free movement.

Advanced Lighting Control for Outdoor Comfort

·         Supports single-color, dual-color, and RGB LED strips (up to 100W per channel).

·         Multiple lighting modes to create different night-time atmospheres.

·         Lighting and actuator functions are seamlessly integrated.

Versatile Connectivity and Interfaces

·         Compatible with touchscreen panels, 433MHz remote controls, wired/wireless rain & snow sensors, key switches, Bluetooth, Tuya WiFi, and Matter gateways.

·         Manufacturers can easily integrate the controller into existing or new awning designs.

Safety and Reliability for Long-Term Operation

Intelligent Self-Check and Fault Detection

·         Real-time system monitoring.

·         Immediate fault warnings in case of overcurrent or hall signal loss.

Durable Outdoor Performance

·         IP65 waterproof rating.

·         Operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 70°C.

·         Resistant to rain, dust, and heat for year-round outdoor use.

Protection for Reduced Maintenance

·         Built-in overcurrent protection automatically stops the motor when an obstruction is detected.

·         Prevents damage to actuators and mechanical structures.

·         Reduces after-sales repair risks.

What Makes the ANT-17 Controller Different from Competitors?

·         Fully localized solution: High performance at a competitive price point compared to imported brands.

·         Higher integration: Supports dual 100W lighting control plus actuator control in one compact unit.

·         Easy setup: Paired with a configuration touchscreen for fast parameter settings.

·         Smart home ready: Multiple interfaces for seamless integration with popular IoT ecosystems.

·         Compact design: 48×25×192mm, smaller than many competing models, saving installation space.

·         Flexible control: One remote can pair with multiple controllers, enabling independent control of actuators, LED strips, and DC tubular motors.
