Default For those with X10 on their Dust Collectors

Hiya,
About 75% done building my cyclone and am starting to think about electrics.
This will be a 220v, 2hp driven cyclone.
I'm thinking of going with X10 for my remote system. Here's what I had in
mind and I was hoping there is someone that
has done this already. Looking at getting their TM751
(http://www.x10.com/automation/x10_tm751.htm) , their universal
module (http://www.x10.com/automation/x10_um506.htm), and a remote. The
UM506 puts out a low voltage signal which
I was planning to use to switch a contactor connected to the 220V. Another
option would be to use a module that put out
120V to switch the contactor. Honestly, I haven't investigated contactors
yet so not sure if I should be thinking 24v or 110v.

Any advice on this is most appreciated (including part numbers if you got
em!)

Cheers,
cc
