Hello Peter

As far as micro switches and sensors there are a wide variety. I 
would suggest a company such as Digikey. They should have a 
wide selection. As for the wall switches. You can actually use one 
of the X-10 type wall switches as a regular momentary switch. 
When you purchase that type of switch you buy the switchpad 
seperately from the transmitter. If you just purchase the switches 
you can use them as momentary switches into a digital input.

motors aren't very consistent from motor to motor so they take different amounts of

So what I am looking for are some 
small switches/mechanical sensors that I can place at the bottom and the top that I
can wire either directly to the motor or to an SECU16. Any suggestions?
