What Is a Motorized Pergola?

A motorized pergola has a powered louvered roof — and sometimes screens — controlled by remote, app, or rain and wind sensors.

A motorized pergola automates the louvered roof with a quiet linear actuator (commonly Somfy), so the slats open, close, or angle at the touch of a button or automatically via rain and wind sensors. The systems integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and smart-home controllers, with low-voltage wiring for lighting and screens.
