I have tried all sorts of combinations, but can't get my apex to read my push button as closed. Can someone help?IMG_20190111_214310.jpg

Post any documentation you received with the pushbutton.

That seems to get it working, however right as it goes off it clicks right back on. Thanks for the help

It looks like if I hold the button down it remains off. But the second inlet go, back on.
I'm trying to set one to engage a feed mode and another to turn on and off lights
The one you want to use as a feed mode should be set like this where XX is your desired duration
PushFeed
Set OFF
If Switchname CLOSED Then ON
Min Time XXX:XX Then ON
Add
If Output PushFeed = ON Then OFF
To things you want off.
The toggling using a pushbutton is much more complicated and is better served with a toggle switch (or magnetic reed door switch if used for something like a cabinet light). The only way to do it is to use a short press to turn on and a long press to turn off and it requires several VOs.
PBtoggleON
Set OFF
If Switchname CLOSED Then ON
If Output PBlights = ON Then OFF
Defer 000:05 Then OFF
PBtoggleOFF
Set OFF
If Switchname CLOSED Then ON
If Output PBlights = OFF Then OFF
Defer 000:03 Then ON
Defer 000:05 Then OFF
PBlights
If Output PBtoggleON = ON Then ON
If Output PBtoggleOFF = ON Then OFF

Interesting, this greatly helps. Think you're the only one ever helping on here.
zombie, I was thinking about getting a few latching illuminated pushbuttons. With the correct wiring, would they be expected to function like a typical toggle switch or magnetic switch (and therefore not require a lot of additional coding to operate?) Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...5RP7P8OE&psc=1
I thought this should work as an on/off toggle (not wired as picture there though), but I could be missing something.
That was my thinking, and why I was looking at these rather than the momentary contact kind.
The one thing I'm not sure of is, with the switch I linked to, whether I can have the light ring dark when the button isn't pressed and lit when it is pressed, without also sending 24V into the switch circuit. From what I can see, I'd have to wire it so that the light would be lit constantly, which isn't really what I want to happen.
I did order several but haven't received them yet. But here's how I'd wire it first trial run. Incoming power, typically red lead, to the left C terminal. Join the left NO and + terminals by soldering a short segment of wire between them. Ground, black to - as usual. The two switch leads then go on the other pair of C and NO terminals. I think that will work.
So I think I'm IMG_20190117_195210.jpgfollowing you, I got the power on off for the push button working and here's how I've got them wired now. However I can't seem to get a closed switch.
The illuminating ring light must be powered, but no power should be fed into the switch circuit. So -
Edit:
Left and right based on your picture here.
Starting with the illuminating switch.
Left WHITE wire must go to the positive pole of 24 VDC or less power supply. NOT the BOB! Black lead goes to the negative or ground pole of the DC power supply.
The pin underlying the RED wire must be soldered to the pin of the adjacent LEFT BLUE wire. Or I suppose you could just use a wire nut to connect the two wires themselves, but only to each other!
Now, from the breakout box, the black wire you have there will attach to the RIGHT WHITE wire from the switch. (That is, attach it to the white wire that isn't attached to power.)
Finally, from the breakout box, the red wire you have will attach to the RIGHT BLUE wire from the switch.
The two GREEN wires, (maybe RED wire, LEFT BLUE wire if pins soldered) will have nothing attached to them. I would cap them off individually.
Thank you, sorry I'm quite new to these push buttons. I'll let you know how it works out.
If you have an EB832 power bar, it's fairly easy to supply power to these light rings and other DC devices by wiring the power terminals (left white positive and black negative, in your case) to one of these, and then plugging that into one of the 24 VDC ports on the energy bar. It's not the most efficient use of these switchable programmable ports since incoming power to the light rings doesn't need to be turned on and off at all, but if not otherwise using them, just set the corresponding Apex tile to ON and leave it that way.
