Re: RE: TTS and how to do it?

Sorry Ian
        Wasnt aware you changed your
relays. What
sort of switching current capacity do they have and any idea when the
board
will be available?

be ideal as a solution. There are lots available not to mention the one I
am
working on at the moment. This would be a much neater solution that
relays
spread all over the house.
