OK, now I understand your point of view .

David the system you are talking about works great I have it for my yard and distant switches that lead to it


I use the push buttons around the layout so the control is right there where you are working. All of the power goes through the capacitor . I want to hear the switch movement so there is no question as to it working.

I've got over 50 Atlas switchs operating From Tortoise Machines and have no problems at all with them throwing the switch's.But they are like wrestling a Croc when trying to install,the templet helps out installing just fine.The first 2 or 3 that i first installed i said a few Curse words that even SCARED me.When i got the templet,everything went smooth.
