AirFlow Network Window/Door Opening

Hi everyone,

I am trying to control the window open, close based on temperature or humidity or any other available sensor. Using the reference file EMSAirflowNetworkOpeningControlByHumidity.idf provided in examples

As mentioned in the Application guide Airflow Network Opening provides an actuator called "AirFlow Network Window/Door Opening, Venting Opening Factor". For this actuator to work we need either of AirflowNetwork:MultiZone:Component: DetailedOpening or AirflowNetwork:MultiZone:Component: SimpleOpening. I have defined both of there but I couldn't find this actuator in the EDD file.

I am attaching my IDF and EDD file with this.

There are no errors but the actuator is not available to use as well. Any help appreciated!
