This company seems to have many wireless relay options, although you will have to use a contactor actuated by the receiver relay, but looks like they could do what you are looking for.I don't have first hand experience with this company, but wireless control is pretty much ubiquitous these

Hi Wrenchers Not sure if I am allowed to do this on this forum but need some help. I have a client who I work with here in the south who needs some help with a stand alone battery application in Northern California. They are looking for someone to partner with them on a project and need

Hello, sorry if this is not valuable, but I used a "Wink" device a few years ago to control a Wink switch, to switch to control a relay to control a backup heat source if the temperature got to low. Sorry I do not remember a lot more. On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 2:28 PM, Eric Youngren

Phoenix contact makes a bunch of wireless radios and relays that can communicate discrete signals as well as standard communications. I've used it for a minimum export relay with SCE and telemetry for SCE. It's simple to install and use. If you're going wireless, make sure you have line of

You would be separating the heater load from the hot tub jets right? If you do not then the jets will not run unless the power is on? Seems like a problem if someone wants to use the tub when the gen set is off. --Dave > Wireless - I have no clue but - Simplest thing that comes to mind is >

That would be great but it’s too late now. When all this was originally built and wired it was 24/7 generator power. So everything is fed from one main panel at the generator building. Plus, the loads are on an ATS that is external to the inverters. When the generator is running it feeds the

Wireless - I have no clue but - Simplest thing that comes to mind is spring wound timers on the infrared lamps & clock timers. Spring wound timers come in lots of “length of time options” Could the hot tubs have a “Use schedule” to coincide with the clock settings?

Howdy Wrenches, I'm working on a generator powered mini-grid for an island fishing resort in Alaska. They have 3 XW6048 inverter/chargers to charge batteries while the diesel runs and power the loads from the batteries when the diesel shuts down. They have several high power heating loads not
