Dust Collection Turn on when Spindle Turns on

I’ve seen some examples of a gadget from Amazon where you turn on the router an the dust collection also starts up. I have the 80mm spindle with the 220 plug. Has anyone put together a setup that would work with that?

ivac has a higher voltage variation iVAC Pro Switch, 240Vac, 20A – shop.ivacswitch.com as well as a current sensor that might work

Does the 80mm spindle really take 220 or is that just the VFD?

The 80mm VFD spindle has a VFD which uses an

L6-20P plug

for a 220V outlet.

There is an additional plug for the chiller which needs household/residential current:

110V outlet for the water chiller
