Remote control for a dust extractor?

[justinpeer]

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.
