Hey guys im looking for someone who can help me wire my home switches up maybe do me a diagram?
Ive tried all ways but i just dont seem to be able to get them to work or even light up

When I did mine I used the proxy switch to switch a relay then use the relay to switch the signal from the cpu card. I didn't want to chance blowing up the cpu card. Are the proxy switches NPN or PNP and what voltage are you using?
My card can only handle 5v input it says for the switches for I'm using 5v external power.
I'm sure I got these from you I can't remember..

I think you did.
I don't think those switches will work on 5v. I think they are rated to work between 10 and 55vdc going by the picture.
Just my luck lol

It's hard to see but they look the Voltage on them is 10-55v DC to power them if they are they won't work on 5VQuote:

Can you boys tell me if these would be alright for a home or limit switch on two wires. im GUESSING the rating is what it can take maximum

Urgh they are from Hong Kong!! Hate it when they advertise being in the UK!

Sorry I edited my post to take out the proxy sensors as they need more than 5V but if you have another say 12v or 24v power supply you could use them as you say the 2 wire one are more simpleQuote:

I was hoping that the plunge switch I linked to would do the same is that correct?

Yes a simple switch will work fine without any other stuff attached. You could still use the proxy switches but you would also need relays.
See that's getting technical to me pal, I will stick to the simple switch for now and do a bit more brain training on the proxy switches lol

I would have to think about that as I have had a bit of a drink now but if you did you would need a current limiting resistor in series with it about 500 ohm you could always try it and see.Quote:
