The Problem: Moisture in the Garage

Garage owners know the issue: Especially during the cold season, moisture accumulates inside the garage. Wet leaves, slush, and water stick to the vehicle and cannot dry properly in the cool air. The result? Mildew, mold, and corrosion threaten – not only your car but also the building structure.

The Solution: Senso

Ventilation function

With the Senso humidity sensor, this problem is a thing of the past. The sensor monitors the relative humidity and temperature in your garage and automatically ensures optimal ventilation. When humidity gets too high, the garage door opens slightly to let fresh air in and allow excess moisture to escape.

How Senso Works

  • Automatic ventilation: If humidity rises above 65%, the door opens about 10 mm for better air circulation.
  • Closes at optimal humidity: When humidity drops back to 60%, the door closes automatically.
  • Smart control: If outdoor humidity is higher than inside, the door stays closed.
  • Safety feature: The preset maximum ventilation time is 2 hours.
  • Custom settings: All parameters can be adjusted by a professional via SOMlink.

Easy Installation – Plug & Play

Senso Installation

Installing the Senso is quick and easy:

  1. Unplug the operator.
  2. Plug Senso into the carriage control.
  3. Plug the operator back in.
  4. Perform a reference run (open and close the garage door completely once).

From now on, the sensor measures humidity and temperature in your garage every 5 seconds.

Why Senso?

With the Senso, you invest in durability, comfort, and safety. Your vehicle and garage stay dry and protected – fully automatic.
