The present invention involves an access device for a movable barrier configured to include a user interface, and more specifically, a movable barrier access device configured to include a deployable cover that covers the user interface when not being utilized. This will assist in extending the usable life of the access device by disallowing exposure to the elements when not in use. The deployable cover can be actuated as a result of signals sent from one or more sensors that are configured to detect any specified stimulus from the surrounding environment outside of the housing. Some of the specified stimuli are the presence of motion and rain in proximity to the access device housing.
