Hi, This still doesn't work, home all works but limit all does not, I vend tried moving the limit all to input 3 and it made no difference I am attaching a sketch of how the switches are wired, and I have verified that the switches are operational and wired correctly.

Hi,

Hi Marty,

I am impressed with the support here, I didn't expect to hear back and resolve
the issues on the weekend
Thanks!
