The future of smart pergola technology brings new levels of comfort and control, with intelligent lighting, automated weather response, and expanded app functionality. These innovations are designed to enhance convenience while elevating how your outdoor space looks, feels, and performs day or night, all year long.
At Outdoor Elements, we are continually advancing what a pergola can do. Our systems go far beyond basic shade. They create responsive environments that adapt to how you live.
Weather-Responsive Technology
Comfort that adjusts before you even notice the change.
Outdoor Elements pergolas are built to respond in real time to changing weather conditions. Integrated rain sensors close louvers automatically to keep your space dry, while wind and snow locks secure the structure during harsher conditions. These built-in protections preserve comfort and help protect your investment without requiring your constant input.
Instead of reacting to conditions, your pergola anticipates them.
Intelligent Lighting Control
Lighting that adapts to your lifestyle and your mood.
Our smart patio lighting options make it easy to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion:
White LED Lighting
- Brighten for evening gatherings
- Dim for a soft, ambient glow
- Schedule on/off times
- Control zones individually for custom ambiance
RGB Color LED Lighting
- Choose from a full-spectrum color wheel
- Adjust brightness and color tone
- Automate transitions or schedule settings
- Light up specific zones to highlight features or define areas
You can manage all lighting directly from the Smart Pergola Control App, giving you precise control with the swipe of a finger.
Complete Control, Anytime and Anywhere
The Smart Pergola Control App offers a beautifully designed interface for controlling every aspect of your system. Whether you’re adjusting the louvers, managing lighting, or setting scenes, you can tailor your outdoor environment with ease.
Key capabilities include:
- Custom louver positioning for optimal sun and airflow
- Scene presets for quick setup of your preferred settings
- Scheduling tools to automate daily routines
- Zoned control for managing multiple areas individually
- Multi-user access so others in your home can control the system
