One of our customers kindly provided the picture at right, demonstrating the use of external counterweights. Our systems work with Vera ®, Wink ®, Homeseer ®, SmartThings ®, etc.Įxternal counterweights are another simple way to greatly reduce the force required for opening and closing a motorized skylight. We also have remote controls for these actuators that use the same system as our skylight and roller shade motors (with z-wave and relay interfacing for automation systems). This picture shows how dual actuators can be used to open a skylight to the vertical position. We have customers that have used gas shocks very successfully (the type used for the rear door of a minivan), reducing the amount of lifting force required to just a push of a finger. You can also double up on the actuators to provide the extra lift, or you can purchase our dual-chain heavy duty actuators that can lift 60 lbs (with automatic rain sensor).
If you are planning to use actuators for lifting heavy skylights, you can offset the weight of the skylight with gas shocks, torsion springs, or external counterweights. This RF-IR blaster hub can "learn" RF radio signals for our blind motors and skylight/window openers! It is also has IFTTT event triggering (if-this-then-that) and IR learning see how we use this for rain sensing to close windows and skylights.
Or use our alternative BroadLink ® RF-IR Blaster Automation Hub: Need an easy phone app system? Take a look at our affordable blind and shade hub, operated by Android and IOS apps. This is also the easiest way to use voice control, with devices such as Alexa and Google Home or Google Assistant. Use our Zwave controller for window openers, skylight motors and window blinds.
