Smart Electric Actuators
Electric actuators/openers can feature smart technology that enables them to automatically operate based on the climate or environmental conditions. Automatic electric openers can be linked to weather sensitive apparatus that detects rain and automatically close the window.
An automatic electric operator can be linked to a fire alarm to automatically open the window in the event that smoke is detected to allow the smoke to ventilate.
