Enjoy your terrace every day of the year with Somfy’s smart pergola

If you love to spend time outdoors while enjoying the comforts of your home, then you must adore a terrace in the height of summer ! However, you have to depend on the weather and be ready for that slightest ray of sunshine. Fortunately, with the bioclimatic outdoor pergola, you can lounge on the patio all year round, in complete sunshine and even when it rains! How? Let us tell you how!

The trick of adjustable slats

A classic outdoor pergola has fixed slats, which will always let the sun or the rain pass through. That's great when the weather is nice, but it limits your chances of enjoying your terrace every day of the year... With electric adjustable slats, your smart pergola really becomes an extra room in your home. Control the slats, screen and lighting from your smartphone in just a few clicks or using your smart speaker. This is true comfort!

More comfort... inside too!

The smart pergola, when attached to the house, provides effective sun protection, while regulating the temperature of your home.
In midsummer, the slats tilt automatically thanks to a sun sensor. This prevents the sun from entering the house, thus protecting it from overheating.
In winter and mid-seasons, you can also simply turn the slats to 90° to let in the light, and the sun when it shines.

Sun and rain sensors to create an autonomous outdoor pergola

The adjustable slats offer a real plus for enjoying your terrace, winter and summer. But take it a step further and add sun, rain, wind and temperature sensors to your smart pergola to automatically adapt to weather conditions in just a few seconds.

The sun is really beating down? The slats automatically tilt to precisely control sunlight, as well as ventilation. No more greenhouse effect: you can enjoy your patio in the shade without being crushed by the heat!

In case of rain, the rain sensor automatically triggers the closing of the slats, ensuring you a total seal. So even in the event of heavy rain, the terrace and its furniture will stay dry, and so will you.

An additional room that adapts to what you want

A bioclimatic and electric pergola is an extra room in your home, but on the outside living area. Not only do you enjoy the fresh air, but you can also use the adjustable shade pergola to make the most of this additional room, make it a workspace in the morning, a dining room at noon and an outdoor living room in the evening.

Is the weather nice and you're working from home indoors this morning? Use your automatic pergola as an outdoor office and enjoy the morning air while enjoying the comfort of your home, e.g. Internet connection and music from speakers that are connected and integrated into the structure, etc...

Adding vertical electric blinds to the sides of the smart pergola helps protect it better from heat, wind or cold. The noon sun will not stop you enjoying your terrace for your midday meal.

Finally, at night, LED lighting and blinds allow you to create a real intimate shelter to share a movie with the family.

It is even possible to change the atmosphere of your smart pergola with the scenarios that you can save in your TaHoma app . So, all you have to do is say "evening scenario" to your smart speaker to see your patio transform instantly: the slats turn, the music starts, the screens come down and the light comes on. Just like magic!
