Light Switch with contactor

[xflipperx03]

I am trying to find a light switch, with two momentary buttons (ON) & (OFF). But also with a contactor which could be controled via ac output card. Building a new home and using a new 1756-L55M12 to do the automation, but having trouble finding a suitable light switch.


thanks,
james

There are rocker switches available, the kind used for low-voltage lighting control. At one time, larger buildings were often wired with 24V control and then a bunch of contactors at a central location to control all the lighting. A 3 position ON/OFF/ON momentary rocker was often used for each switch. Would this serve your purpose?

I have installed several light switches in our plant using just a single pole momentary contact. It is programmed so when the button is held for more than 1 second the lights go on and if it is just touched the light goes off.
