I have just started my Duet wifi up and I am bench testing it before I install it into my HEVO build.
All I have worked with so far is marlin on ramps type setups.
I had no issues setting up and connecting to wifi so all that works A1 and I am operating from network control now.
All that is plugged in is one endstop on Z and two stepper motors as per the picture here:
[duet3d.com]
I generated a config.zip from the online configuration tool:
[configurator.reprapfirmware.org]
All I changed from the default setup was Z steps per mm from 4000 to 200 and the Z end stop. I tried both "Active high" and "Active low"
I am using an optic end stop, its supposed to work for both 3.3 and 5v but its a cheap Chinese one so that might be the issue but I don't think so.
when I test the end stop the led's on the duet indicate a state change so I believe it is working.

When I activate z home I expect the motors to run until I trigger the end stop manually.
What they do is run for about 1/4 turn and stop and I get this msg "G28 Z Error: Insufficient axes homed for bed probing"
I am going to guess that its looking for a bed probe but I don't see a way to disable this and use simple endstop.

P.S. When I use the online RRF config tool and I try to use existing configuration and upload my existing config.zip I get an error:
Error: The specified file could not be read!
why is that happening?

Is that webpage controlled by DC42?
