Strange/incorrect resposnses from buttons

Hi dear all...

I hope I have just a minor issue, so you will be able to give me some feedback quickly

Within HomeSeer software I am trying to use multiple push-button readings.
The system worked normally on the test bench, but after adding some additional wiring I get mostly confused readings.

  • I am using exactly the same wiring as it is mentioned in attached photos

  • even on test bench I added external power to the whiteboard just to have enough "juice" - all went OK then

  • In attached photos you can find buttons, I am using, also using adapter to attach only "NO" part - additionally I am using 12volt power to lit the LED button lights

  • Every button has its own pair of cables - cables are about 3m long (using 1mm2 cables)

Issues, I have:

  • readings are just "crazy" - normally software sees it as "closed", even if connected to NO wiring
  • when I touch buttons - sometimes readings are OK, sometimes there are no readings, sometimes reading is stuck at closed, sometimes at open... just without any sense

In general my HomeSeer (and its Arduino plugin) are quite stable, running it on some other occasions (without all that wiring and buttons fuzz) for years without any problems...

Could you please give me your suggestions, how, where to change it, add something?...

Thank you very much for all your inputs
