No I don't! Do you mean something like the attached picture?
Yes, he does. You need one (almost without exception).

Probably because the fan has an integrated filter to suppress the power-on surge, which may be bypassed if the fan is already in the on position and mains is switched by the relay.Powering on the 45W AC appliance (which is actually a fan) while the relay is already activated. Result: no click

Thank you Kris!Yes, connect the diode as in the diagram in post #20.
It can also be a sudden drop in voltage due to the inrush current of the load. In fact
It look like a very small resistor to the power supply at that moment (use your Ohmmeter to verify)
