Thread: Appliance Module for outdoor purposes?

    Appliance Module for outdoor purposes?

    Hi folks,

    There are two pumps driving an outdoor water feature. Is there the equivalent of the RadioRa2 Appliance Module (http://www.lutron.com/en-US/HeroImag...-3_01_hero.png) rated for outdoor use? If not are there any outdoor receptacles? Would be great to drive this ON/OFF as part of the RadioRa2 Home Control dashboard.

    Thanks!

    RadioRA2 does not have any outdoor rated products. Depending on the pumps, you could use an RRD-8ANS-WH in line with the pumps or the receptacle the pumps are plugged into. Just use a plastic W/P box for the switch.

    I have an install going on right now which is bringing a transformer inside to use an 8ANS, and we're also putting in 15A switched outlets outside through the softswitch (warning: only works in Inclusive). Neither of these might work easily for you, but if you have a home run to the house with the power, you could drop the softswitch inline.

    Thanks everyone. Perhaps I can use an appliance module in a waterproof box too. Would allow for more flexibility in the design...

    It probably would work in a waterproof, but recognize the temperature specs for the device to avoid premature failure.
