    Is there anyway to detect (on the rail docker side) when something has undocked?

    Rail dockers emit a high/on signal when they dock.
    When a rail docker undocks it emits a low/off signal.

    If a activator is placed next to the docker it will receive the high/low and change state to match if it needs to.

    So a activator will turn on when it docks and off when it undocks, but only if it is active.

    Ah that explains why the tests failed... I need to start trying both activators and buttons. I also wish this was in the wiki... Maybe I'll have to create an account.
