Thought this forum might have had a pm facility, appears not.

FWIW for the door/limit basically your doing this

for( ;; )
{
doorsw = digitalRead(DOORPIN); // HIGH WHEN DOOR OPEN
limit = digitalRead(LIMITPIN); // HIGH WHEN LIMIT IS TRIPPED
if ( doorsw || limit) { // DOOR 1800, LIMIT 2000
if (!doorsw) { tone(DOORSWPIN,1800);
} else { noTone(DOORSWPIN); }
if (limit) { tone(DOORSWPIN,2000); }
} else { noTone(DOORSWPIN); }
}

Hello  micknucam !

Thanks,
