This question is a bit off-topic, sorry; but it is related, and I very much respect this NG's knowledge of things related...
I am going to have need for a "remote" switching capability for a water pump motor, and also a gate opening/closing motor. ( In this case "remote" means at least 50 meters.) I would like to use wireless if possible, to avoid having to trench and bury cables, (whose locations will surely be forgotten, and then re-located by some gardener's shovel.)
Having no experience with wireless relays/switches, I do not know whether this idea is even practical, even more so at these distances.
Can someone give me some thoughts/recommendations on how I should attempt to solve this problem? If there are specific hardware components that could be used, I would appreciate weblinks so that I can learn from them. (BTW, I live in a 220-240 VAC location.)
Finally, if there is a more appropriate place for me to post this question, please tell me and I will be happy to do so.
Thank you very much, David
