Hi,
What I'm trying to do is build a circuit from my computer, where I
have a controller card I've built that can raise signals, to the wall
sockets, lights, etc. I want to be able to turn on and off the power
to the sockets, etc. by raising a signal on the computer. What I want
to do is run twisted pair wire through the walls and control it via
that.
I've done a bit of research and I think I can use a solid state relay
like jameco part number 164988 for this. Do I just put it in series
with the A/C current? And run the twisted pair to the input voltage
leads?
I'd also like it to default _on_ if the computer is yanked out of the
wall or something, not necessary but a big plus (it would be nice to
have electricity if the computer breaks).
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I don't feel like burning
down my house.
Thanks,
Greg
