[QUOTE="ckrys1, post: 119751, member: 175163"] I want to operate my 36V motor/actuator from room A and room B, not at he same time obviously. If I have a junction box into which go 2 sets of the 4 wires(1 set from each room/positioner) go, and out of which comes 1 set of 4 wires going to the motor, then a) will it work? B) will using room A`s positioner immeditely do serious damage to room B`s positioner, since there will be a current sent from room A`s positioner straight into the motor connections of room B`s? (as well as to the dish). If so, would a `toggle switch` instead of a junction box be safe?, and c) I realise that if I use room A`s positioner to move the dish from Astra to Hotbird will mean that room B`s positioner will think the dish is still at Astra, and therefore I would have to use Room A to move the dish back to Astra before I could use room B to move off somewhere else. At least I think that`s what would happen, anyone with any knowledge/experience of this? Please don`t suggest remote extenders! I`ve been using them for years and they just don`t seem reliable to me. It`s that problem I`m trying to solve. :P Cheers [/QUOTE]
