Switching a large electrical load
-
Hi All,
Does anyone have a good solution to switch either a 1 or 2kW resistive (or inductive if possible) load?
Any method is fine, either a wifi IoT type device that can be controlled or sent a command direct from the onion (without ifttt or some other cloud service in the way) or a contactor that I can connect to the Onion relays. My preference would be to keep high voltage away from the Onion relays (even if low current just controlling a contactor).
Hope someone has some advice. There seem to be a lot of devices out there but I've no idea on what is actually a good solution.

I just bought something random and hoped it would do the job.. it does
Solid state relay to control the 1kW load ( http://amzn.to/2grrQSh )
I'm then using the easy to access jumpers on the temperature sensor to feed 3volts into the solid state relay via the relay expansion which is behind the oled display.

Hi mate, out of curiosity is there a reason you have the compass behind your power wire?

Good spot.. only because it is attached the same tool that has a thermometer on it too. The thermometer was my main way to tell the temperature in the office before I got the Omega setup.
Compass is, clearly, useless when vertical (and next to power conduit).
