Sorry Pete, I just realized you're trying to link a shared sensor pod switch. So if you have a remote unit with an output, you can not trigger that output from a local sensor. Here, I created a switch on a 450:
I can see the state of the switch and I can create a threshold locally for that sensor:
I can not however configure that remote switch to trigger for a local event. If your local device has an output, you can configure that to switch based upon the remote sensor but not visa-versa (note the external ports option is unavailable.

Hi Pete,
Before you can choose that switch option for another output, you must first configure it. If you have configured 2 outputs and one is set up as a switch and another as a button for instance, you won't have the button available under the switch alert option. If you have not set up a second option at all, you'll have neither choice. Here's an example:
Note I have 1 switch and 1 button. You can also see that the switch alert action only has the switch option:
The button option only shows the reboot button:
