Mar 8, 2013 at 13:35 comment added Chris Stratton The parts of a micro that could wear out in non-abusive conditions would be flash or eeprom memories. But assuming your system does not frequently re-write those, the processor should be unfazed by 10 million operations, and as others have pointed out would routinely do so in under a second.

Mar 5, 2013 at 14:47 comment added pjc50 That's a rather extreme requirement - over how many years? How harmful is the environment (dust, moisture, etc)? Why are the existing commercial options not adequate? Is there a size requirement?

Mar 5, 2013 at 14:42 comment added Anindo Ghosh Please explain what you mean by a pull switch. Is it a toggle switch, a spring-loaded momentary push-button (or pull-button if you like), or something else?
Mar 5, 2013 at 14:36 comment added halfer Can you give us a diagram to illustrate the size of the structure? I am not sure if it is clear at present. Also, is the switch just momentary single pole, or does it toggle in any way? The Arduino will be fine with ten million on/off signals (internally it can probably do that in less than an hour) but presumably your switch won't operate that fast! How often do you expect your device to open or close?
