[Shop-talk] Update: Remote electric meter readout

[Steven Trovato]

I use one of them for my bathroom fan too.  Works great.  Problem is 
that cranking a knob to turn on lights isn't going to cut it.  I want 
to retain my original toggle switch style, or very close.  Also, 
Those spring wound things make noise.  Not terrible, especially with 
a bathroom fan running, but I can't imagine listening to that soft 
ticking all over the house.
