A little fun with my above bench air line. Voice activated.

What are you going to get when you say "Ah Crap"

thanks for the idea.  I have alexa.  I have an air compressor and I have a 120v soleniod air valve.  I'm going to pop a wifi outlet controller on the air compressor and use either my smart phone or Alexa to turn the thing on and off.

I used a Hook 433mhz bridge for these Etekcity brand outlets. Pretty cheap setup.  Plus still works with the remotes as well.

Well,  I got the compressor and air valve running off of my smart phone last night.   Worked great!.    I see on the instructions  that come with the smart outlet that they don't recommend using it to run industrial motors like pumps and air compressors so I ordered a $10 motor contactor.  This will isolate the motor loads from the smart outlet and problem solved.  I'll post a few pics when I get the rig in a pretty metal box hanging on the wall besides the compressor.

Yes pretty much only have them switch a coil or power a less than 10 amp load. Also id make them easy to replace as well.
