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

In ,
horizon typed:
I'm looking for suggestions on a 24volt relay with contacts
that can handle 120V, 7 amps. I'm looking to install it to
control a new 120V outlet that is going in an attic and
needs to be controlled by a 24V signal to turn it on. So,
I'm looking for one that is cost effective and can be
mounted in some simple type of wiring box. If it can go in
the same box as the outlet, even better. I'd like to
make this code compliant and do it right. Plenty of space
is available as I can mount just about anything on a stud
in the unfinished attic.

Thanks for any input.


Check out X10.com. They have what you need, it's wireless, and requires
nothing special but an outlet. You could have as many switches to control it
as you wanted. Right now it's $19.99 but prices change often there.
I've nothing to gain from them; just love their toys & products.

HTH,
