I do have an option for you but you cannot add the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit part # LC715123 to a Solera 18V Power RV Awning. The only way to obtain the wind sensor is to upgrade your arms using the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit part # LC759516 for 63" arms or part # LC759517 for 69" arms. These arms will not only provide you with the ability to add a wind sensor part # LC715123 but they also have an auto rain dump feature as well as the ability to add LED lights part # LC674282 and an infrared security sensor part # LC715124. The awning fabric and roller tube will be reused with the new Smart Arms if this is the route you decide to go.

Please note, the Solera Smart Arm's require a 12 volt power source and are not offered in 18 volt.
