I put this question to the Windynation support team. At first they said maybe then after review of the way it worked said most likely not without running extra wiring and even then they weren't sure. I decided to play with adding Wi-Fi control to the Suntura (how to here) In my experimenting with the Wi-Fi add I figured I may be able to something similar if not better with the remote control I wasn't sure just how big this unit was hoping it may be just small enough to fit inside the control box. I requested one which I figured I'd play with to see if I could somehow incorporate the two. The unit arrived Friday and at first glance it appeared to big to go inside the Suntura. However after opening the wired in unit it looks like it may be able to fit similar to how I mounted the Wi-Fi unit. Over the holidays I'll experiment with this to see just what might be possible. Worse case is it will only move an actuator to a park position(fully extended or retracted) and not stay when the light sensor kicks in. I know a 12 or 24 volt relay is going to be required, maybe 2 if one wishes to move both ways. I'll see if I can get a schematic for this as there are several output pins which may mean several possibilities.
I had a bit of time to look at this and do some preliminary testing. The remote sends steady power out until the opposite button is pressed so a single park is definitely possible . I believe it is possible to wire this thing so your capable of a horizontal and/or vertical park. Which way you wire it up would depend on your trackers mount type. You could wire 5 different ways However you could only park in one position if the sensor was to receive sunlight, for night time you could do two park positions though not a east and west nor a north and south. I have some mini relays ordered but since they're coming from China it may be a while before I can post a full how to.
Originally I had thought about mounting this inside the SunTura control box. However this comes in a nice little weather tight black box with quick disconnects. There is enough wire I believe to go threw the bottom of the SunTura control case and connect to the required relays to make this work. Using a Waterproof Connector Gland simular to what Windynation used for the actuator and sensor wires should provide enough protection. This will allow loads of room inside the SunTura for my Wi-Fi addition.
I've started a DIY thread for adding this to a suntura here: Adding RF Remote control to Suntura (DIY Project)
