Don't talk daft Man course it's masking the problem if you haven't found out why.!! Also you can't say proximity switches are the wrong product for the job of sensing it's what they are made to do for gods sake.! Only thing that could be questioned is the quality for intended application.

You keep on about people picking you up wrong but now you're doing it yourself.

My conclusion is that it's capacitance of the cable so using mechanical switches is not masking it but using a product that will work in that situation.
I never said specifically that proximity switches were the wrong product for the job, but maybe 'those' ones are.
I know full well what sensors of all kinds are made to do having been in industry electricals for over 40 years.

I think the home switches will be okay because of the slow approach speed.

All other aspects I think are what is to be expected with DIY.
