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.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I can't use X10 for two reasons. One
is the control signal comes from a controller that already supplies a
24volt output. That also rules out some of the suggestions where the
transformer function is already included in the relay. The second
problem with X10 is reliability is a concern.

I still think Daring Dufas's relay in a box fits all the reqts.
