Thanks.  I figured something like that. 

The smart relay currently has a manual switch installed, which I'd like 
to keep.  The goal is to have the 7200 only take control if the manual 
switch is in the open position (the pin is open).

Do you have any ideas on how to sense the current state of the control line?
