While scanning the available items on Amazon, I came across an industrial 8 channel relay box. The box is powered using a Raspberry Pi Pico, which you provide. All of the connections are covered and it appears that I would not have to do anything but connect wires to the system and to outlets. I could actually get a 4-gang switch box and put four outlets in the box. Over the next couple of days I will think about how this will affect my concerns about UL level protection.
This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!
