neat idea. Then, just put the transmitter in the same box as the receiver and make it one unit. Or even put a IRLED on my board and emulate the transmitter. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Nield [mailto:simon.nield@QUANTEL.COM] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 10:17 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [EE]: Packaged Solid State Relay robert: >As soon as you hack it, the UL/CSA rating is voided. a slight twist: how about one of those units that offer remote control of a mains socket with an IR transmitter? you should be able to hack the transmitter without loosing the approvals of the switching unit... not great but better than a kick in the teeth.
