OK - cheers Phil.  I suppose I could always set the temp once and have the AM turn it off and on but it would be nice to control the temp.

 

Thanks again

Do not use a lamp module ... it's not what they were designed to do and I wouldn't want to risk the lamp module failing given the loading of the blanket.

 

Stick with an appliance module if you need to automate an electric blanket ...

Hi all

 

I'm thinking of automating my electric blanket but have some doubts as to the best method.  Could I use a LM and use the dimming function to control the amount of heat dissipated by the electric blanket or would I be limited to using an AM.  My electric blanket has a 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 0 "switch" on the cord to control the level of heating so in theory the "element" can handle not being on full power. 

 

Cheers

Pedro de Oliveira
