    I also suggest the emergency disconnect with the pull pin, too. Saves you from having to cut open the door. I would keep your switches, not using the momentary switches, but add a limit switch on the closing function. The LA has its own limit switches and it LOOKS like you installed it such that it is at its full extension when completely lowered. A limit switch when closing will let you press the "Close" side of the circuit without having to stand there while it closes.

    My suggestion to you is to NOT use that DPDT switch. Use two Momentary SPDT switches and 2 Relays. One SPDT downstairs and one upstairs. Not only can you control from both places but you can control the position. Only drawback is that is not just a one click operation, but you have to press and hold. Like in my video. Except for timers you use SPDT switches. ruclips.net/video/-HLkvI-oJ1A/видео.html Also wrap a pool noodle around it. Makes it quieter. Last if you have a good WiFi connection you could always use a 2CH or 4Ch relay smart switch. It have to be 60 below for it to start affecting it. Besides running the wire in some aluminum flex conduit and boxes, you can always replace the pin in the actuator mounting bracket with a pull pin. The kind that have a little ball bearing at the end. Get a length of steel wire rope and run it to somewhere you can yank on it. Or make a hole next to the mount the size of one of those cable hole covers. The type that are on desks that cover the holes that are meant for cables. And that becomes an access port to pull the pin.

    Looks good except that if you don't stop via flipping switch to cut power, you'll rip it off the door due to the loft door being fully closed while not at the fully closed limit switch on actuator. I'd either add a arduino controller to be able to stop power at the actual closed loft door position( also being Ble to use it remotely this way)...or figure out some anti binding linkage, slip area up top towards closed. Great job and inspiring me for my project...adding a linear actuator to a giant exhaust wall with the intent of controller the exhaust flow remotely via wifi and remote desktop.

    The mounting location of the actuator is critical, no discussion about that. Seems that the actuator did not reach the full retract position which could actually stress or break off the brackets. A faster actuator might have been a better choice.

    Nice! In its simplicity, this is still expandable. A robust Micro-Switch in the Frame could control the light coming on or off. As also mentioned, there are further _Remote_ possibilities with this where you could either change or add a Wireless Module to allow control by Key-Fob. I'm currently replacing the threaded bar in a Scissor Lift, to motorise a platform that I use for Laser Etching. It isn't a necessity but its much nicer pressing one or 2 buttons than cranking a handle! Esp in 2020!!
