I thought of something like that, and it would probably work.

The solution we're going with is a contactor. I thought of that too, but in
my mind it was "a lot of work" to buy and run the conduit and wiring and
everything else involved in something that spans three locations on three
floors. Apparently I'm still not used to the fact that I have a whole crew
at my disposal, many of them much more skilled than I am at physical
installations, who can bang this stuff out in a jiffy. This is my first
project with that kind of power/responsibility/"So let it be said, so let
it be done."

Thanks for the help!
