Thought I'd start a separate post on this since the post that this was started in wasn't asking about this as a possible source for opening and closing the canopy.
For those that weren't following the original post The question was asked what if the Logic card for a garage door opener was used for our opening system (in a electric system, not sure if it applicable to a hydraulic system)
The opener is a 12v system
You can adjust the open and close points
You can adjust the opening and closing force
It slows the speed down on start up and closing so it doesn't jerk the canopy off the hinges.
You can open and close it with a remote
Sensors can be installed so it doesn't come down on you by accident.
I looked up the cost of the Logic card on my opener and it is available for a price of $146 however I was unable to find a wiring diagram for it so how it could be tied into the system is a mystery to me but I'm sure it could be done. The Logic Card isn't that big so it wont take up any space.
Maybe some of you electric experts can shed some light on how practical it would be to install the Logic Card into the canopy system
