Is there an outlet made (such as the XPR) that is high amperage (my pool pump is 9-11 amps) with separate addresses in the top & bottom outlets? I would like to plug my lights in also, but often don't want the lights on while the pump runs or verse-vica?
On another note, the receiver for the pool alarm has a low-voltage line-out for N/O or N/C contact. If I want, during an alarm activation, to mate it to an X10 device (I think I have seen these) to send a command, what do I buy? I know enough to be dangerous, but once I read the instructions I can then make it work. Is there a place with simple instructions for this type of setup?(I would hope whatever switch I bought would explain this, right?)
Thanks for your help,
Tom

The PCS MM2F/S-15 Multi-Module has four outlets, two unswitched, and two X10 controlled on seperate channels. Total load can be as high as 15A leaving you a bit over 400 Watts for the lights.

Another options would be to just put in two switched outlets. Expand to a 2-gang box and put a PAO11 ($13.69) next to the XPR.

I think you're looking for a PSC01 Powerflash Security Interface for your pool alarm. ($18.74)

The prices I quoted are from [Link: homeautomationnet.com] He doesn't list the MM2F/S-15 on the site but he's a PCS dealer so he should be able to get it if you decide to go that way. Bill?

Thanks Larry!
I have an X-10 receptacle I may try? It is rated at 12 amps, and the ONLY thing I will have plugged into it is the pump (9 amps, and I imagine that's under max load; hopefully it doesn't draw 9amps continually, would it?) Anyway, the instructions say "You can plug anything in this outlet that you would normally plug in any home outlet" Well, you're supposed to run the pool pump (above ground) off an extension cord, so I guess that applies! I will try it. It will be downstream of a GFCI. Is there any problems X-10 through the GFCI to this? I will probably order the PAO11 for the pump, and move the X10 outlet for the lights.
Thx

The solution I used for my car block heater was to use a regular appliance module to drive a 30 amp 110V relay. The system works well and is enclosed in a small box.
