Default Suggestion for 24V/120V relay to control new outlet?

Thanks for any input.


MR-101 or PAM-1 should do what you need, also I think Air Products
sells a similar one that mounts to a knockout of a handy box which
might be exactly what you're looking for. Don't remember part number
off the top of my head.

You probably won't be able to mount it in the same box as the outlet
for box fill reasons. I'd put it up in the attic so you don't have a
blank plate showing in your living space.
