AK1 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I used an Aube 220V relay at my electrical panel on the hot water tank circuilt and then I control it with a Card Access contact / relay / thermometer device - http://www.aubetech.com/products/produitsDetails.php?noLangue=2&noProduit=42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfci142 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 so you used a 30 amp relay with a 12v power supply? is the card access relay also at the panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfci142 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 I have looked at the card access manuals...............confused on feeding the HDPC (20 amp line or 12v line from hc300) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK1 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 so you used a 30 amp relay with a 12v power supply? is the card access relay also at the panel?I believe the Aube product allows control with 24V. But yes, this is essentially what I did. Yes, the card access device is also at the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Just curious, why would you turn your water heater on and off? I guess if the house is empty for long period at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK1 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I turn off the hotwater tank when I am not there which could be for many days at a time. We have a baseboard heater in the crawl space to regulate the temperature where the tank is located. As an added measure, I turn it on for 30 minutes daily when not there.^You leave your water on in the cabin when your not there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsanf3 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I used an ELK 9100 (similar version below) and a Card Access Relay.http://www.smarthome.com/2477SA1/INSTEON-220V-240V-30-AMP-Load-Controller-Normally-Open-Relay-Dual-Band/p.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
