Replacement Wind Sensor Needed for Dometic 9500E Model 201

[kelleyclark]

I am looking for a replacement Wind Sensor for my 2017 Escape 19 Dometic 9500E Power Case/Cassette Awning Model# 201NS12.003B. The original was destroyed by leaking batteries. It is a Simu Windy Hz Accel made by Somfy. I have spoken with Escape, Dometic and my local Dometic dealer. So far they have been unable to assist me. I believe that a Somfy Eolis 3D WireFree RTS Wind Sensor 1816081 might do the trick. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Good news, the Somfy EOLIS 3D Wirefree RTS part number: 1816081E works perfectly with my Dometic 9500E Model# 201NS12.003B case/cassette awning. I purchased it from Amazon for $229.95. Yes, it's kind of pricey. I learned my lesson and will use lithium batteries instead of leaky alkaline batteries. It is interesting that Dometic customer service, my local Dometic dealer and Escape were unable to assist me. Dometic customer service wanted me to purchase the Dometic Power Awning Pro Kit similar to what is currently being used by Escape.
This kit includes a receiver that would require being wired into the awning circuit. My local Dometic dealer ordered me the shock sensor model: 3316519.002 that works with the Power Awning Pro Kit. Unfortunately, if doesn't work with the 9500E Model 201NS12.003B awning. The customer service representative at Escape didn't seem to know anything. I hope this will help you if you have neglected your awning wind sensor and need a replacement.
