The electromechanical actuator is actuated by means of an electrical signal produced by a radio frequency receiver or by means of a switch.

Claims (7)

1. A garage door/gate opening/closing mechanism, for activation of a wall switch, said mechanism comprising:

a universal supplementary receiver housing having at least one electromechanical actuator configured to exert a mechanical force on a button/or buttons of said wall switch in order to actuate a garage door, wherein said electromechanical actuator is actuated by means of an electrical signal produced by a radio frequency receiver or by means of a switch,

wherein said supplementary receiver housing having a plurality of blade members located on the periphery of an opening of said housing, said opening configured to be placed over said wall switch; and

a rotating element accessible to a user on an outside of said supplementary receiver housing, wherein said plurality of blade members are configured to be moved from a first unlocked position to a second locked position onto said wall switch via said rotating element.

2. The garage door/gate opening/closing mechanism according to claim 1 wherein the receiver operates with fixed codes.

3. The garage door/gate opening/closing mechanism according to claim 1 wherein the receiver operates with rolling codes.

4. The garage door/gate opening/closing mechanism according to claim 1 wherein the receiver operates with SparseCode.
