HI,
I want to place a magnetic switch on a door so that when the door closes a light bulb goes on.
The easiest way would be to find AC rated switches and just splice in the switch, but I do not want AC running through the magnetic switch.
So...I want to purchase a magnetic switch that is closed when the door is closed (magnet in field) and is open when the door opens and run a relay.
Is there a relay that will switch AC on/off when you short or open its inputs. Basically I have no voltage to switch the relay I just want the relay to switch when I jumper it's contacts.
Is there such a thing that doesn't require a voltage to switch it?
Thanks.
