I'm using a mini-servo from my Specktrum DX-6 radio triggering a micro switch as Neil suggested. With the extremely short throw of the mini-servo, mine resets quickly. I tried using a servo switch, but it didn't seem to like my door actuator much. When I triggered it, the door actuator wouldn't move far enough or stong enough to trigger my marker.
