If I add 3 other switches, (hopefully there's room for the "little latch"
that trips), and extend the wires elsewhere for the relays....
What do you think of that?

Would it be a particular security hazzard if you just connected the switches
to the main battery. Perhaps *if* the windows are the only things on [their

the other windows don't ahve the revolution sensors in them
