I am considering trying to hook up a shop vac that is located outside of my
studio. How does one turn it on and off if only the hose is inside the
studio?

Bring the cord in too and plug into one of those protected strips with
an on/off toggle, just $3 at Home Depot.

Woodworkers Supply sells a key ring sized remote switch and receiver outlet that lets you turn on and off things from a distance. If you vac has a outlet that allows for a tube to be attached to it, such as the suction hose, why not pipe a vent tube to the outdoors, attach a second hose and keep the vac indoors?

Hi Rick, Carol,
Shop vacs ( modern ones anyway) are hideously noisy, and,
they take up (maybe precious) room, and they look really
ugly.
All three of which are very good reasons to have them
outside if possible.
I have a nice four foot tall 1930s Wet-and-Dry industrial
Shop Vac...it is indoors, and if it is running, you can
stand next to it and enjoy a normal conversation with
someone, it is that quiet. And the Motor is turning maye
15,000 rpm or something.
Similarly, my 1928 'Hoover' Vacuum cleaner...quiet as can
be...you can be Vacuuming and have a normal conversation
with someone at the same time. And it does not lack for
power, either.
All my 'early' 'Carter' or 'Carter-Stanley' or 'Stanley'
electric Routers for Woodworking...very decently
not-loud...some even 'quiet' indeed...just making a nice
whirring humm at 12 or 20 thousand RPM...
My 1929 'Curtis', flat belt, 9.5 CFM Air Compressor...a Baby
could sleep next to it while it is running...
Why are all the modern versions of these things so hideously
screamingly ear-slittingly ''loud'' when one run them?
Progress?
Eeeeesh...put 'em outdoors...!

Ok...got it
I assumed that you didn't want blow by dust returning into the studio environment, not thinking about the noise. old tools are great.

Hi Rick,
Good point...
My little 'wet-dry' Shop Vacuum seems to put out fairly
clean exhaust, but ideally, you are right, and it is best to
indeed have that exhaust air conducted outside.
Certainly, for the larger kinds of Shop Vacuums, which use
an exterior filter Bag for their exhaust Air, it is good to
obtain the highest quality of filtering one can get. I think
these may be refered to as Hepa Filter Bags, but I am not
sure. I did buy one years ago for the 4 inch 'Big' Vacuum
which originally I set up as a central unit, with 4 inch
pipes run along the walls having plug-in ports every ten
feet or so.
I forget I even have it sometimes, since I do not use it
anymore. It was intended for the Thickness Planer and big
Jointer and Table Saw and so on as can make a lot of
shavings or 'dusts'.
Maybe there are up-grade or retrofit Hepa Filters as could
be used for one's small sized Shop Vacs, but all in all, one
is best off to have the exhaust air go through a pipe or
something to the outside, or to have the unit itself outside
for this reason, as well as room and noise.
Otherwise, if allowed to be indoors, that exhaust is going
to fill the inside Air with a lot of particulates to be
floating around, conspicuous or not, and we do not want to
be breathing them innocently or otherwise.
