I have searched the web till I drop. Perhaps I do not know how do describe my requirements in a search engine. Here goes, someone may be able to assist me.
I have an automated gate which is not visible from anywhere in the house.
The open / close is a single button.
I do not know if the gate is open or closed without going outside and walking about 20 yards down the drive.
Once in bed on a cold night, not a great thought!!
I think I need a magnet on each gate which closes a pair when the gates are closed and is open pair when the gates are open.
How do I transmit the status back to the house? A cable is a possibility but it is about 60 yards from gate to house.
Any, any help would be appreciated.
