Lone Star Elite™
Outdoor Automation Package
Lone Star Elite™ is the smart-control layer that ties the entire Retractable Systems Division™ together — awnings, screens, curtains, lighting, fans, heaters and weather sensors — into one app with one consistent set of automations.
About the Lone Star Elite Series™
Built for Texas. Powered by Solair®.
Lone Star Elite™ uses Solair® motors, controllers and sensors as the backbone and adds integration with major smart-home and voice platforms. Set sunset scenes that drop the screens, dim the LEDs and warm the heater on the patio. Set storm scenes that retract the awning the moment the wind sensor triggers. Build one outdoor room you actually use — controlled from one place.

- Sun, wind, rain and temperature sensors
- Scenes and schedules (sunset, storm, party)
- Voice and smart-home integration
- Add LED lighting, fans and heaters
- Works across Alamo, Hill Country, Bluebonnet, Longhorn and Rio Grande
What makes the Lone Star Elite different
Features & Engineering
Real Weather Automation
Sun, wind, rain and temperature sensors trigger automatic extend, retract, dim and shutdown — so the patio reacts to Texas weather before you do.
Scenes & Schedules
Build scenes like Sunset, Storm, Party or Movie Night. Schedule by time of day, day of week, or sun position.
Smart Home & Voice
Integrates with the major smart-home and voice ecosystems so the patio lives in the same app and the same voice routines as the rest of your house.
Lighting, Fans, Heaters
Add integrated LED lighting strips, ceiling and post fans, and patio heaters — all controllable from the same Lone Star Elite™ app.
Add-On Friendly
Start with one Series and one room. Add more Series™, more zones and more devices over time without rebuilding the whole system.

FAQs
Lone Star Elite Series™ Questions
What is Lone Star Elite™?
Lone Star Elite™ is our outdoor automation package — the smart-control layer that ties together your awnings, screens, curtains, lighting, fans and heaters into one app and one set of weather sensors.
Do I have to buy everything at once?
No. Lone Star Elite™ can start with a single Solair®-powered Series — Alamo, Hill Country, Bluebonnet, Longhorn or Rio Grande — and add lighting, fans, heaters and additional Series™ over time.
What weather sensors are included?
Lone Star Elite™ supports sun, wind, rain and temperature sensors so your shade products extend and retract automatically based on real Texas weather.
Will it work with my smart home?
Yes. Lone Star Elite™ integrates with the major smart-home and voice platforms so you can control the patio from the same app you use for the rest of your house.
