This project involves controlling a parking lot type light (150W) from either of 2 locations; One near the power source and light fixture (<25') and one approx 130' away. Doing conventional 3 way switch system would require running romex the 130' which presents significant other physical issues.
Typical wireless (rf) remote control systems I have located so far cannot reach the distance.
There are already unused cat 5 wires in place. What I would like to do is find an inexpensive 'contactor' device that could be controlled via the cat 5.
Two local electrical suppliers weren't much help; (maybe I don't know the right terminology or questions).
Can someone tell me if such a device exist; Where to get it or possibly how to build one using a 'cube' relay.
