All the motors there have 240v motors.

I do not encourage non electricians to use 240v for safety. The merlin has 240v on its circuit board tracks as well, most 240v motors have 240v stepped down to 12/24v then have an external relay for 240v switching to keep 240v off the main board.

The standard merlin electronics are not suitable to use with 'cloud sensor input' which means you have to use a seperate 240v controller and playing with 240v is not a good idea let alone cost with relays etc.

Mind you those old merlin motors never seen to die... but that one is very old.
