I use Wemo mini, it less than $20 now
also, relay
and, junction box
Whole project cost around $50, if you would like to make it yourself.
I build one and using it for the last 5 month without any issue, Ican turn ON/OFF PGXL from my phome or iPAD on WEMO application. You can find description here, scroll to the bottom
Good luck in your decision

Thank you! I need 220V, that's why I lloked at the other one. I have a couple of 110V switch that work fine but I running the Amp ar 22oV. Any other thoughts?

Your example seems expensive and still needs 240 VAC wiring, and locks you into the Sonoff smart switch.
I built my own:
Contractor, with 120VAC coil. :
Installed in this box:
I use these to **** the box:
On the 240 VAC side, I used a 3-foot, 240, 15 amp extension cord, cut in half and wired into the relay, inside the box:
I used a 10-foot length 240 VAC 15-amp extension, of the same as above, to run from my 240 VAC, 15 amp wall plug to the relay box.
I used this cord to run from the relay box to the PG-XL: (other amps may vary)
I cut off the female end of an unused 110VAC cord, and wired to the relay coil. Plug the 110 VAC into your smart switch of choice
I applied this label to the box:

This is exactly how I use it.
Wemo use 120v for switching external relay, but I am getting 240v passing through relay.
No problem
Good luck.

So when you turn the pgxl off you are just are essentially just pulling the plug? Normally CPU do not like to be shut down this, is the pgxl an exception?0

Either you turn off power button or disconnect the power by external switch PGXL is loosing the power. I use it that way over 2 years, not problem at all. Typically I have PGXL ON 24/7 besides a weird behavior or thunderstorm when i shut down power completely.
