Potter Amseco ODC-59A Overhead Door Switch

This thing wired up in a few seconds and provided a much more reliable easy to mount solution for my garage door sensor. I had a cheap plastic white sensor wired up first and it was a pain to get to reliably recognize and would also keep shifting and getting dislodged. This thing comes with a serious bracket and plenty of ways to confidently mount. Plus the most important part, it has a very generous tolerance on the sensor, so placement is nowhere near as precise as the little cheap plastic magnetic sensors you can get in bulk

Received it on time. Installed it quickly. It worked like a charm. What more could you ask for? I would definitely buy it again. It was very reasonably priced as well.

Added to a wireless sensor, works great.

Worked perfect. Will use again in the future for sure.

Easy to install and use with PLC system using 24 volt DC to monitor some gates and doors. I hope they have a version with longer wires. If you know what are you doing you can use this with any industrial automation and home security automation or IOT system with no issues whatsoever.

Great quality. Works well.

Perfect replacement!

Heavy duty switch. Easily mounted over the door and wires to my WeMo Maker.

Well built and has a strong magnet

I wasnt sure quite what to expect from this as a DIY project, but these worked out great. Theyre designed to be mounted on the floor, but after some testing with a multimeter, I determined that the orientation of the magnet to the sensor isnt all that important. As long as the magnet is within about 2 inches of the switch, the switch closes and I read a short on the lead wires. I went ahead and took the magnet off the steel angle-bracket it shipped with and just mounted the magnet directly to the top of my garage door. Then I wired the sensor side to the garage wall next to the magnet. With that wired into my security system, everything is now up and running and Im a happy camper! I cant think of anything bad to say about these. They did what I wanted them to do right out of the box.
