ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an automatic skylight actuator designed to be incorporated into a skylight of the type which may be actuated to open and closed positions through the use of an electrical actuator such as a rotary motor. The inventive actuator includes two sensors, one for sensing rain outside the building where the skylight is installed and the other for measuring the room temperature within the room in the building having the skylight therein. When the temperature sensor senses that the temperature within the room is above a predetermined level the actuator is operative to cause the skylight to be opened, whereas when the room temperature drops below a perdetermined level, the skylight is closed. When the rain gauge senses that it is raining outside, the actuator is triggered to cause the skylight to be closed. Whenever the rain gauge senses the existence of rain, acutation by temperature sensing is disabled.
