C=common NC=normally closed (connected to common when the coil is not energized) NO=normally open (opposite of NC)
The SiteMonitor base currently has no internal automatic logic control to toggle the on-board relay when the switch contact is closed. I'm guessing that was your assumption. That would be a good feature for Forrest to implement.
The "switch" on the base is an open/closed contact monitor (aka input). Is there continuity or not.
Unless I'm just that dense and cannot understand what you've described here. Entirely possible.

When the door is open the relay switch turns on a light, and trips the site monitor's switch input to send an alert that the door is open. When the circuit is connected as show in the attached PNG the site monitor always reads the switch input as 1 or connected regardless of the state of the door switch relay. When we reverse the wires going into the site monitor switch input everything works perfectly. So when the door relay switch's C is connected to the right hand side of the switch input and the NO is connected to the left it works as expected. This totally does NOT make sense to me at all :/ I thought perhaps the Site Monitor was bridging the switch inputs and the negative rail of the power source internally. To test that theory I connected a different power supply directly to the Site Monitor that was separate from the power supply used for the light and network switch and also connected to the door relay switch. But even in this state it performed the exact same. I must be missing something? Scott
