    Or you could use an opto-isolator and Triac to switch the mains voltage. The advantage of a relay is that it's fairly safe, but the noise from being energized could send you an your parrot bonkers !

    Thank you Malc

    I don't want to blow anything up, so I must make sure I do the right thing!


    Will it work if I replace my Relay with this one http://za.rs-online.com/web/search/s...duct&R=3998225

    Thank you !!

    Default Triacs

    Can't say for sure... from the spec I would say that should work - the Coil is 12v and the contact 240V and it appears that the contacts are rated at 10A, but then the tracks on the PCB have been designed to carry 24v at max 3A, so placing 240v at upto 10A could fry the board and obviously if left exposed is dangerous.
