1. A method for remotely actuating an automatic building or enclosure closure, comprising:
a) transmitting actuation signals containing data for authorizing and performing an action of the building or enclosure closure by radio by means of a transmitter,
b) receiving the actuation signals by a receiver,
c) determining the authorization on the basis of the received data, and
d) controlling the building or enclosure closure to perform the action when authorization is available;
wherein step a) comprises repeatedly alternately performing the steps of:
a1) transmitting a first actuation signal on a first frequency within a first transmit time interval; and
a2) transmitting a second actuation signal on a second frequency within a second transmit time interval,
and wherein step b) comprises repeatedly alternately performing the steps of:
b1) receiving radio signals by the receiver on the first frequency using over a first receive time interval that is longer than the first transmit time interval, and
b2) receiving radio signals by the receiver on the second frequency over a second receive time interval that is longer than the second transmit time interval.
