aaah, sorry - it's been a few months since i've been engaged with this project (i actually broke my finger so had a cast on for a month so couldn't do much of anything) and i made the mistake of not rereading the previous posts, i just assumed i'd mentioned the hoists. apologies again.
the solenoids previously mentioned will be fitted onto the accordion and will be driven by the Crestron touchpanel and processor. the accordion will be fitted onto an old hoist from an AV system which was used to lift a plasma screen out of a cabinet.
it is one of these : https://www.liftchair.com/okin-betadrive-lift-chair-motor-w-white-moving-block-p35.htm
it's pretty much exactly the same, maybe a bit longer. one end of the accordion fits onto a plate at the end of the hoist, the other end of the accordion is fitted onto the moving block
but at the moment it only works with two hoists connected, if one is unplugged then the other connected one wont work
thanks for your reply, sorry again for any confusion
