After having some success using the electric outlet remote used normally at Christmas time to test on my dust collector and rotary phase converter I ordered 2 of the Link2Home units below. I'm using the 2nd outlet for a light to let me know if the machines are operating. This should be a real convenience as both the DC and RFC are at extreme ends of my shop.
