how can i get the light in my walk in closet to come on when the door is open and go off when it is closed. do they have door switches for that
thanks.

there's the ds10a but it transmit extended codes.   need an advanced tranceiver to pick it up.

post your tranceiver ID to know for sure

or you can connect a magnetic contact end to a powerflash module and find a clean way to run the line to the door.

i would be using the cm15a as the transciever, what is a powerflash module?

POWERFLASH

You can use a MS14A motion sensor mounted on the inside of the door.

I have a socket rocket in mine at address A11 and the motion sensor set to trigger on A11. The motion sensor then turns off depending on the delay set in the motion sensor.  In my application the RF from the motion sensor has no problem reaching the transceiver but you may need to test your setup to see if range will be a problem.

I use the same setup in a few location and all works great. In my laundry room if you stand still long enough the lights go out but then all you need to do is move a bit and it comes back on. I have also noticed that if the washer is set to use a straight hot water rinse the heat coming up from the washer will trigger the motion sensor now and then. (this could have some potential as a heat detector in an attic to trigger a fan if you could get the setup just right  )

I have the DS700 security system as well as AHP, and in that situation you could use a security door/window sensor to trigger on a socket rocket or a wall switch...

Lots of options!
