Hi Jason, https://www.iohvaccontrols.com/category/wireless-solutions.html I used the IO-WRP model, with a range of about 1/4 mi. to remotely disconnect a GTI whenever the backup genny starts. The next model down, without antenna, has a range of about 100 ft. The IO-WRP was better suited to my app

Jason, I just successfully hooked up a a remote 915mhz RF circuit to accomplish GTI disconnect in a AC coupled system when the backup generator starts. I think this is the discussion you are referring to. I’m on the road right now but will post details including the source of the send/receive units

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 days.

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 wrote: > Howd

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 sight

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 > spri

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 loa

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? --
