If you can't be bothered then provided your rafters are big enough go with the pulleys

I’ve not a better solution other than a workshop extension.

Something similar as a safety measure might be appropriate here too?

Toggle clamps around the box would both keep it shut and take the weight off the ropes as well as dealing with any chance of rodent issues.

I would not use galvanised wire, galvanising is a very thin top coat over iron. A few lifts and lowers over steel pulleys could easily crack the galvanising, leading to early onset rust in shed conditions.
Very thin stainless cable, and ALL of your maintenance goes away for the rest of your life.

That statement stretches their credibility somewhat. A wireless link almost never offers greater EMI resistance than a directly connected cable.
As you know from your Wifi experience in the workshop, EMI from your lights caused lots of issues.
Certainly reducing/removing cables draped across the shop is highly desirable so that is a positive.

Six months to build the machine. Five more to get it working. Four hours on the computer writing the instructions. 30 seconds making it.
Sorry, Malc...couldn't resist. I'm seriously impressed with what you've done.
