I am wondering if it is possible to integrate these two devices below? I want to attach a Garage Hoist to a Grow Light Mover. I’m not sure if they are compatible or can do what I want them to do together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The end result I want happen is when the Grow Light Mover stops on one end of the rail, the Hoist will then lower an object, keep it there for about 20 seconds then raise it back up before the Grow Light Rail starts to go back in the other direction. I thought the best way to do this was to buy a second Grow Light Mover and detach and use the "timer sensor” to connect to the Garage Hoist.

So in the end the completed finished unit which would ride along the light rail system will have--- a Grow light Mover with sensor in tact and the garage hoist with it’s own Grow light Sensor. when this whole unit moves to one end of the light rail there will be two separate magnetic stoppers. One for the Grow Light and the other for the Hoist.

Thanks in advance…...


DEVICE #1- “GROW LIGHT MOVER”

Designed to slowly move on a rail system from left to right. When the unit touches a magnet touch point it goes in the opposite direction. There is also a built in timer that can pause the device for up to 120 seconds.

Welcome to AAC.

Integrate in what way?

 

Did you read the reviews for that light mover?
What is your local mains voltage?
There are very few technical details given for the hoist; so it's not clear if integration with the light mover would be easy or even possible.

I did read the reviews. Not great I know but I have it the unit and have been running it for days and it appears fine. Plus I only need it to operate for a few months. Not long term. My voltage is 120V located in the US.

I can email the company that makes the hoist. Would you be able to tell me what questions to ask that might help determine if they are compatible? Thanks for your response.

Thanks for the reply.

So in the end the completed finished unit which would ride along the light rail system will have--- a Grow light Mover with sensor in tact doing it's normal function. Along with a bracket carrying the garage hoist with it’s own Grow light Sensor. When this whole unit moves to one end of the light rail there will be two separate magnetic stoppers. One for the Grow Light and the other for the Hoist. In theory, that would stop the light trail for a timed period and the hoist would lower it's cord, then return back to it's unit and the system would start to move in the other direction.
