a) open the roof when closed

c) stop the roof moving when moving
d) start the roof moving in reverse direction when just recently stopped ie (C)

- touching common to 26 does nothing

so....

The behaviour shown by 22 is as per using the remote, and together with sensors to know when the roof is open or closed could be used on its own through a single relay. But I'm confused as to why 26 is doing nothing, and was hoping 22 would ONLY close.
OK, just tried again and 26 will open the roof from closed, doesn't do anything else. Not sure why I got it to work now but not earlier. Behaviour of 22 is unchanged from my previous explanation.
