In the fast-growing outdoor shading market, finding a reliable, flexible, and intelligent control solution for electric pergola systems has become a common challenge. Many solution providers and end-users have expressed their frustration with existing controllers on the market, frequently encountering issues such as unstable performance, poor reliability, and limited configuration options.
At Antuator, we listened carefully to these concerns and committed ourselves to developing a next-generation controller that addresses these pain points. After over two years of focused R&D and continuous technical optimization, we’re proud to officially launch the ANT-17 Smart Controller — a versatile, compact, and highly reliable controller designed specifically for electric pergola applications.
Outdoor shading systems often operate in tough environments, including high temperatures, heavy rain, humidity, and strong electromagnetic interference. This requires controllers with higher stability, durability, and protection levels. Additionally, as many of our customers are based overseas, the cost and difficulty of providing after-sales service increase dramatically if equipment failures occur.
We also found that pergola solution providers frequently require customized control configurations. Some projects need single-channel control for small pergolas, while larger installations might demand dual synchronous actuator control. LED lighting options also vary — from single-color to dual-color and RGB lighting combinations.
From the end-user’s perspective, simple and convenient operation is equally important. Features like one-click pairing with remote controls, flexible louver angle adjustment, and seamless integration with smart home platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Xiaomi, or mobile apps are increasingly expected.
The ANT-17 Smart Controller was engineered with these challenges in mind, offering advanced performance and rich functions in a compact form factor:
Supports up to 2 linear actuators (max 50W per channel) with optional Hall sensor for precise position control and adjustable limit settings.
Compatible with both Hall sensor actuators and traditional actuators, offering upward compatibility for existing systems.
Real-time monitoring of actuator working status with protection alarms for overcurrent, synchronization errors, and Hall signal loss.
4-channel LED strip control (max 100W per channel), flexible configuration for various lighting combinations: single-color, dual-color, or RGB.
Multiple control options: 433MHz remote control, Bluetooth, RS485 bus protocol, and Tuya Wi-Fi smart platform integration for convenient remote operation via smart home systems.
Available in IP65 and IP67 waterproof protection levels to suit different outdoor applications.
With its flexible configuration, reliable performance, intelligent protection features, and easy smart home integration, the Antuator ANT-17 Controller redefines industry standards for electric pergola control systems. It not only helps pergola manufacturers and system integrators simplify system design but also enhances user comfort and convenience.
We believe the ANT-17 will become the preferred control solution for smart outdoor shading applications, delivering seamless performance in diverse environments and offering long-term value for both business partners and end-users.
