1481615 2021-11-02 22:50:00 OK, how about a reed switch? A magnet on the tilting plate and the switch mounted on the box. I found these two on Jaycar:
11182
11183
The glass one looks a bit fragile for the environment, but the other one might work.
My question is: how close does the magnet need to approach for it to actuate?
There are other ones on the website, but they all seem to be normally closed, where what I need is normally open.

Comments?
