I have a central vacuum cleaner where you close a switch on the hose outlet to start the motor. I would like to use a remote relay switch with a button attached to the wand to turn it on and off without going back to the outlet.
My remote switch requires power to operate and really seems designed for simply turning the power on/off to load rather than closing a circuit to a relay.
Will my proposed solution in GREEN work? I would actually connect the ground to the ground on an outlet near where I will place the switch and not to the the original outlet powering the central vac - but ground is ground right?
I would also like to retain the functionality of the existing switches. Or would there be a problem if they were both turned on at the same time (I think not but I need to ask).
