Integrate hydros with magnetic door switch for lighting?

[jrloyd]

Has anyone here integrated the hydros with their magnetic door switch to turn on under cabinet lighting? I have some wireless ones but would love them to be wired to come on when I removed the door. I saw a video somewhere that someone wired up a Phillips Hue light strip and ran it throughout the sump area but I can’t find it. Trying to figure out if it’s possible to do this setup and how.

If you have an XP8, Start, or Launch you set the REED switch to activate the plug when the door opens. You need to have a 0-10V input on one controller as well. Plug the REED into the 0-10V Quad Cable, set the color on the controller for the REED, set the outlet to control with the 0-10V input.

I haven't done it yet myself but I have looked into it and there are lots of people on the Hydros forums that have done it.

Also, there's directions on the Hydros website:
