    What I'm confused about is if I combine the diagrams, I've got the DC (+) running to both the 87 and the 85 on the relay. Is that correct?

    I’m joking about the eggs,.

    Is the antenna coop door opener working ?

    Or did you let the smoke out of one of the components ?

    When I hook everything up per the latest diagram, then power on the system. The antenna opens all the way, stays open for five seconds, then closes all the way. This is what it seemed to be doing with just the PV connected to test. No amount of flashlight or thumb covering of sensor seems to change anything.

    Okay, so with a photocell, I think that it is default set-up to be "off" during daylight, and "on" at night. Do we have it wired backward?

    Move the wire from terminal 87 on the relay to terminal 87A on the relay.

    Now, after powering up the circuit and components, the antenna should extend and stay extended until the photo cell is covered up, then it should retract.... Sorry.

    That’s what I get for trying to use my brain for so and so hard after being unused for 4 plus months.

    When I do that the antenna opens when I power up the system, but then the only way I can get it to close is if I disconnect the antenna switch from 30 on the relay. We're almost there. I have to wrap it up today and go attend an event. I'll pick up tomorrow. To be fair, I never did get the PV test to work when it was just that and the relay. I'll have to mess around with that. At one point my alligator clip touched something it wasn't supposed to, so I'll have to check the relay for continuity tomorrow. If it's broke, I've got four more.
