I am trying to create an Insteon/x10 controlled linear actuator. the original purpose was to be able to remotely open and close a screen door via a switch, motion sensor and or phone app. However, this can have lots of applications and by using Insteon/x10 as the controller it is easily programmed. I want any DIYer to be able to do this so I am trying to reduce the complexity and wiring as much as possible.
The main issue I am having is with finding an Insteon/x10 controller that can provide enough power to run the actuator. My thought is to have a lower voltage controller, with dual relays built in, connect to a higher voltage dual relay. I tried to put as much detail as I could into the diagrams. (See diagrams)
My question is. Can this be done and how? Need specifics on how to wire.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
