    Optocoupled triacs. I hate that clicking. Plus I'm a solid-state kind of guy.

    Yeah, I think solid state would be the thing.

    If I weren't completely and utterly backlogged to heck, I'd write it up. But the Discolitez site has the diagram for what you'd want to do.

    ahh excelent :)

    I'm thinking I might have to do something like that too... use LCDC to turn on the lights in the morning to help me get up :) and maybe a security system, have the lights turn on ad off when you are away to make it look like you are home..

    p.s. don't think it really matters what the guy used for the isolation electronics - it's all going up in flames anyway :D

    Still, nice idea!

    I'd used some rc-stuff actually, no wires and stuff, and you can even show off more! or something...

    That is one dangerous mod. Not the idea, but the way it has been implemented.:eeek:

    It breaks almost every wiring safety regulation. Beware of lawyers brandishing writs.:eyebrow:

    Apart from that, cool.:p

    Only prob would be that if you don't want to use external microcontrollers than you'd have to use for every GPO a differint frequency
