I'm building a TV lift cabinet. The lifting comes from a scissor lift powered by a drill. It needs to turn on when the TV turns on, drive up to a switch, turn off, and reverse the current so it can come back down when the TV turns off. I want it to work completely independently; ie: no extra buttons or remotes.
My electrical experience is pretty limited, but this doesn't sound that hard. I attached a basic wiring diagram a friend helped me mock up.
My problem is I don't know what I actually need to buy, or where to get it. Also, instead of a manual switch at the top of the diagram I want it to work off when the TV has current or not. I assume that's another relay of some kind.
So assuming you all agree the diagram makes sense, please tell me if it doesn't, what I really need is the names of these specific components and a recommendation of where to buy them. Turns out if you just type "limit switch" into Google you get more results than are helpful.
Thanks for anything you can help with.
