Sorry .. wrong word!

Actuator in OSM is it the thing that operates it - an electric motor for 
instance.


Not that interested in that .. more of what initiates it's operation.. a 
light beam being broken can open a door using an electric motor as the 
actuator.

A handle that operates a toggle switch can do the same, as can a 
pressure mat, an RFID card, finger print reader, retina scan ...

The electric motor says nothing about what makes it turn on/off.
