Is the automated opening/closing control of roll of roof type observatories possible with AstroArt ?

I'm using a script to run the AA sequencer. Once the sequence is complete the script parks the scope, closes the roof and turns the power off. I'm using serial controlled relays that are opened and closed from the script. You could also use ASCOM switches controlled with the script. To start an imaging session I run a script that turns the power on and opens the roof, would you really need to automate opening the roof?
