Recently picked up a dust extractor that will live outside my workshop. I’d thought to use a smart switch to turn it on and off but it has an NVR switch so that won’t work as it won’t turn back on after it’s been turned off by the smart switch.

Any suggestions on how to add a remote control other than just removing that switch and fitting it with a regular one?
 
What is a NVR switch, is the same as the red and green magnetic switch on lathes etc
Yes exactly that, it’s called a no voltage release switch. If power is killed to the machine, the switch cuts and it won’t restart when the power is resumed, prevents a machine starting automatically after a power interruption.
 
Instead of removing the NVR, put the remote switch after it.
Switch is built into the machine so would require some rewiring.

I’m not averse to that but I was wondering if there was a simpler, non-destructive, way as I see plenty of YouTube videos where people have a remote fob for their dust collector and just wondered how they might be set up.

These videos don't have NVR switches or they have been replaced or bypassed.
 
I use this one on mine:

Edit:
Sorry, I answered too quickly on my phone and I was not thinking straight. My dust extractor doesn’t have a NVR switch so I don’t know what would be the effect. I can test it on my planner later and confirm the effect. Apologies.

Edit 2:
I have now tested on my planer and confirmed I was wrong: it didn’t work with the NVR switch so. Apologies again.
