Wireless Remote for you DC - Update

[Dennis Peacock]

Well...I found out today that Radio Shack is no longer carrying the X10 wireless remote key fob and plug-in receiver. I did find a place on the web that has an excellent price on a Heavy Duty Wireless remote with Weather resistant receiver for just under $30 and it is 110V and good for 13 Amps. The site is www.dimango.com and I ordered my unit today. Their price even included shipping and handling. I picked up the 220V contactor with 110V coil today and tested the contactor setup tonight. Works really well with a regular 110V house switch and box. Needless to say, I will have by next week a complete WIRELESS Remote for my 5hp cyclone setup and the range is about 50 feet and is RF and not IR so line of sight is not required to reach the receiver. Total cost so far? $50.44 ....The contactor was $20.64 and the remote and receiver was $29.80 including shipping.

I will post pics and test results next week when I have it all hooked up.

Thanks for all your advise.
