I am wondering if anyone here can help me come up with a wireless remote that will activate a 120VAC contactor. I want this to be wireless, like a garage door opener or a remote for a ceiling fan. I have found a contactor with a built in 120VAC transformer but I need to find a way to apply power to the contactor via wireless remote. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dennis
 
Also, if the load is less than about 15 Amps, X-10 and Radioshack have some wireless remotes.
