A note for MSFS 2024 users:

since SU5 there is the option to access O: and I: variables. Unfortunately this isn't bullet proof yet - I still have an open and confirmed bug ticket in the MSFS developer forum, because sometimes the process refuses to work.

Here is an example that does work for the default C208, it pushes the GENERATOR switch up (reset) and holds it there

0·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:SwitchState,·Number)·1·(>B:ELECTRICAL_Alternator_1_Reset,·Number)·
(E:SIMULATION·TIME,·seconds)·0.5·+·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_SwitchStateTimer,·Number)·
(E:SIMULATION·TIME,·seconds)·0.5·+·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_Repeat_StartTime,·Number)·
1·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_MomentarySwitch_IsHeld,·Number)·

This pushes the switch down (trip) and holds it there:

2·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:SwitchState,·Number)·1·(>B:ELECTRICAL_Alternator_1_Trip,·Number)·
(E:SIMULATION·TIME,·seconds)·0.5·+·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_SwitchStateTimer,·Number)·
(E:SIMULATION·TIME,·seconds)·0.5·+·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_Repeat_StartTime,·Number)·
1·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_MomentarySwitch_IsHeld,·Number)·

This releases the switch:

0·(>O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:XMLVAR_MomentarySwitch_IsHeld,·Number)·

And this will read the current position of the switch:
(O:ELECTRICAL:ELECTRICAL_SWITCH_ALTERNATOR_1:SwitchState, Number)

(... these scripts can probably simplyfied - I've just replicated the behavior code here...)

Specs for reference in the MSFS 2024 SDK manual: SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition
(at the bottom of the page there is a list of all variable types and how to assemble their names)
