Fairly obvious but if you wish to add eBrake switches yet keep your current levers or your bike uses integrated shifters/levers - here's what I did:
I'm not a technical writer or photographer, my apologies - but a pic or two and quick description this should be fairly self-explanatory:
The magnets and switches are very cheap on eBay. I merely used shrink-wrap to secure the sensor body to the brake noodle. You'll need to play around with it and perhaps use a small shim to hold it level and straight. Once attached it shouldn't interfere with removing the noodle.
One layer of shrink-wrap over the magnet and another layer around the magnet and brake cable. Hit it with just enough heat to hold it lightly for positioning. Once you have it "calibrated" a good blast from heat gun will tend to melt the shrink-wrap onto the cable and it should not need the tie-wrap seen in the photo. That was just a "safety" but isn't really needed. If it really worries you a little glue could be used but 2 layers of shrink-wrap seem to stick well to the cable following a good blast of heat.
Anyway, that's the idea. It works and works well IMO.
