Just got my closeted dust collector on a separate 220v circuit and set up to run from an X-10 appliance module plugged into an outlet controlled by an hp-rated wall switch. Pushed the on-button on the little pocket remote and it works!
Next thought was that little, 2 x 1-1/2 x 3/8-inch, plastic remote is going to get misplaced in no time (67 year-old) if I don't get it on a lanyard to hang around my neck. Looked at a leather shoelace and immediately realized what a BAD IDEA that was -- having a strong cord dangling from my neck while working around rotating machinery. So, keep it in my pocket? -- nah, it'll end up in the washing machine or the nightstand. Belt loop? -- nah, don't want that part of my anatomy sucked into a machine either.
So, where do you guys with remotes keep yours without losing it ???
