Re: Relay Control

["Justin" <justin@xxxxxxx>]

Dan,
I have ordered some relays from Quasar and was hoping to use an X10
addressable 12V power supply from
http://www.letsautomate.com/10681.cfm?cfid=1286&cftoken=7615
to activate
either the 3043 or 3044 from http://www.quasarelectronics.com/relays.htm

The addressable power supply would effectively waste a whole housecode but
it is quite a bit cheaper than a powerflash module.

Justin.
