Hello, I have owned my Apex for over a year now and I love it. I mainly just use it for very simple things. Now that I have some experience with it and things have settled down I have decided to maximize the full potential. I am going to purchase a second EB8 and a Breakout Box. What I was wanting to do and I know it is possible but I only could find one post on it. Add a magnetic contact switch so when my cabinet is open it will turn on the cabinet lights. I always seem to get into it without remembering to get a flashlight so I can see. Thought I would take advantage of the Apex and settle this problem.
Making sure I understand this correctly. The switch will be wired to the Breakout Box which is connected to ether the Aquabus or EB8. Then from there the rest is just setting up the switch in the controller and programming correct?
Lastly, where can I find these contact sensor, do Home Depot or Lowes carry them? I checked online but seems all they have online are the ones that you use with the alarm system in a box kind of deal. Maybe they don't list them probably? Ideally would like one without wires that just have contacts so I can add my own wire that I can make to the length I need.
-Thanks!
