- Detects wind and unwanted motion automatically Triggers awning retraction before damage occurs Compact and simple to install on Altitude awnings
About this product
The Carefree BT-12 Motion Switch is an optional sensor for the Altitude Awning range that detects unwanted movement — like a gust of wind — and automatically signals the awning to retract before damage can occur.
The switch installs directly on your Altitude awning and continuously monitors for motion that could pose a risk. When it detects something too strong, it triggers an immediate retraction — protecting your awning without you having to be present.
Important
If you are using support poles, rafters, or other awning attachments, switch the Master On/Off switch to OFF once your setup is complete. This prevents the motion sensor from triggering a retraction while additional hardware is attached.
Why this beats the alternatives
You can’t watch the weather 24/7 — the BT-12 does it for you. A small upfront investment that protects a much larger one.
Who it's for
Carefree Altitude awning owners who want peace of mind when the weather turns
