Stephan,
I am interested in this subject as I am planning to install a Smart ass and the
associated landing gear warning.
In my opinion there is one weakness in your system: if your gear/flap lever is
in the down position but not completely pushed to the right the lock is not 
engaged
and your system will not detect it. This "gear down and unlocked" situation
happened to me twice recently. Fortunately in both occasions I detected it
during the second check and pushed the lever into the locked position before
landing.
Has anyone fitted a switch which detect the position of the lock?
