What happens here

Rob, representing Equinox, explains the various control options for the pergola system, which extend to the integrated lighting. Control can be achieved via a wall-mounted switch, a handheld remote, or a smartphone app. He also mentions advanced features such as motion sensors, time-of-day scheduling, and moisture/rain sensors. The rain sensor feature is particularly relevant for outdoor lighting, as it implies the system is designed to detect rain and automatically close the louvers, thereby protecting the integrated lighting and ensuring all electrical connections remain weatherproof and functional under varying weather conditions.

Goal: Highlight the intelligent control features and weather-sensing capabilities of the pergola system.
