Hello, JohnYour question can be answered with a "yes" .. IF I recommend that any power related problems be handled by a qualified electrician. Your automation already sends a 120 volt AC pulse to the changeover coil, this must be converted to a "contact closing pulse". This is accomplished by adding a relay with normally OPEN contacts across the dimmer terminals and a 120 Volt AC coil to operate the relay. The relay coil is placed in PARALLEL with the changeover "OPEN" coil. The relay MUST be enclosed in an electrical box as there is high voltage in the relay coil circuit. The contacts do not need to be very heavy as there is little current in the dimmer control circuit. All installation subject to electrical codes in your area. Sincerely, KEN
