Some people that I have spoken to want to switch motors and large current loads using LOR or other controllers. That is difficult to do. Here is a solution. Use an AC input SSR. SSRs are not unusual but the SSR below is very unusual in that the input is AC which means you connect the output of your controller channel directly to the input of the SSR. Most SSRs are DC input. The SSR below can control up to 25 amps (with proper heatsinking). I use these to control motors in my display. When you use a relay or SSR you will not be able to ramp the voltage of the channel which isn't a problem for AC motors. AC motors will self-destruct if you try to ramp the voltage to them.
Here is the Ebay link to the SSR. This is a spectacular price:
