Hi everyone.
I've read through some similar posts related to my confusion, however I've become slightly more confused
I didn't want to hijack anyone's thread, so I thought the polite thing to do would be to start a new thread.
SETUP:
Bookshelf/hidden door leading to balcony, opening by a 12v linear actuator.
I currently use a DPDT switch, thrown into a shakespeare bust. It triggers a 12v red LED upon switching the toggle to on, as well as sending power to the actuator to operate the door. Flip the switch in reverse...reverses the polarity
Here's where I run into problems:
I cannot for the life of me figure out what I need in order to throw another switch on the opposite side.
I'd still prefer to go with the toggle switches (on-off-on). They are no momentary in either of the 3 positions.
I'm assuming I need some form of relay, but when it goes down that road, I'm completely lost.
From my understanding, I'm going to need 2 or 3 relays to do what I want, but again, not sure of anything at this point.
I'd really appreciate any help in solving this because I'm wanting to keep the mosquitoes on the outside
Also, it would be of BIG BIG BIG help if alongside your reply, you provided an amazon link of the item so I can buy it/them immediately.
Again, I really appreciate any help any of you can provide!
All the best
