The AQY280EH is optically isolated, but can only switch a low current load (130mA). If you are switching a 60w bulb, you would need a several amp device to handle the in-rush current of a cold bulb. I like to wire a "puck" type solid state relay (ssr) into an old metal outlet strip (that can be opened up, and that has room inside) or into a 4x4 metal junction box with a receptacle and cord. A couple of small wires can be brought out for the low voltage control.
If you need more detail, I can dig up some example ssr part numbers and sketch out the simple circuit for you. -- Ralph On Jun 21, 2017 12:03 PM, kqt4a...@gmail.com wrote: I am just a tinkerer so I'm looking for advice. I have a project using an ESP8266 to control a light. I am using a Panasonic AQY280EH to switch the light. What is the safe protocol for mounting and connecting a device that is using a high voltage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
