Client wants to turn on driveway/landscape lights when the gate opens.
She has a gate opener (Apollo 1650) that uses limit switches to tell the motor when the gate is in open or close position. Tech support tells me there is no current on the sensor, just like there wouldn't be on a standard window/door alarm contact. Obviously there has to be some sort of voltage/current to tell the opener when the switch is open/closed.
There are no other outputs/indicators that I can see to use as triggers.
I didn't see an LED in the box that I could tap off of, and there doesn't appear to be any communication port.

I don't think it would be vise to just wire one of my HAI's zones into this switch. Can you think of anything out there that I can use in this case?
Any micro relay or optically isolated sensor?
