Beau388 I investigated behind this front awning mechanism box and your explanation is dead on.
Bob Denman as far as retracting without a reason, no mention from Carefree. After reading some documentation sent by Carefree, the batteries in the motion sensor would partially retract the awning when close to depleted. Will change the batteries as soon as the rain stops (might be a few days lolll).
