I know this has been covered before but none of the solutions offered work perfectly for the way my machines are set up.
Problems: auto-take off switches / master switches seem to be rated at max of 3kW which doesn't cover my CamVac and tablesaw, never mind plugging multiple things into the same socket (although as just me there would only ever be the CamVac and one other machine running at a time). The only thing it would be useful for is my CamVac and bandsaw.
Remote controls: If I were to go this way I would like to have a remote physically attached next to the on/off switch of each machine but the best I can find is two remotes programmed to a single plug whereas I would like at least 3or4.
I was therefore wondering if it would be possible to build a current sensing device attached to each machine that would then send a remote signal to the remote plug attached to the CamVac? I know this is naive but it seems so simple I wonder why it isn't available?
Any suggestions?
