Fixed signage and method for use of same

A fixed signage comprising (10):

• a housing (22) having a front (80), rear (82), top (84), bottom (86), a first side (88), and a second side (90), the housing (22) sized to house a sign (26) therein;
• a window (24) located in the front (80) of the housing (22);
• an actuator (112) being mounted in the housing (22);
• a closure assembly (32) being installed in the housing (22), the closure assembly (32) including a frame (110) for supporting a cover material (34), the cover material (34) being moveable by a moveable closure member (138) between a fully retracted position whereat the cover material (34) is contained within the housing (22) such that the window (24) is exposed to a fully extended position whereat the cover material (34) covers at least a portion of the window (24);
• the moveable closure member (138) being mounted within the frame (110), the moveable closure member (138) operating under the power of the actuator (112);
• the housing (22) securing a processor (154), memory (156), a transceiver (160), an actuator input/output (162), and a signal sensor (60) therein;
• a busing architecture (172) communicatively interconnecting the processor (154), the memory (156), the transceiver (160), the actuator input/output (162), and the signal sensor (60);
• the actuator input/output (162) being located in communication with the actuator (112), the actuator input/output (162) configured to control the actuator (112);
• the signal sensor (60) being located within the housing (22), the signal sensor (60) sensing a location of the cover material (34);
• and
• the memory (156) accessible to the processor (154), the memory (156) including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor (154) to:
• receive a command signal (180) via the transceiver (160),
• control the actuator (112) via the actuator input/output (162) per the command signal (180),
• receive state data (186) from the actuator (112) via the actuator input/output (162), the state data (186) indicating the state of the actuator (112), and
• receive sensor data (188) from the signal sensor (60), the sensor data (188) indicating the location of the cover material (34).
