Hi, Piclisters, I am working on a small gadget to remotely turn on and off appliances through Internet. The first test will be done with my PC so as to be able later to remotely connect to it. My question is : what is the best electronic switch to use ? Conventional relays ? Solid-state relays ? Any other type of relays ? The signal driving the unit will be, of course, digital. Thanks !
