You will need to modify the Jardiuno code to latch on logic low instead of high.

These changes will work. Low = on and high = off.

Intermittently, this logic used to turn the relay on & off will work backwards because of the opto-iso.

Jamie does have a SSR (solid state relay) setup which is installed & wired directly behind the outlet. This setup is the most stable and the quietest - SSR don't make the mechanical latching sounds.

I hope this helps!

Did you order them from eBay?

Mine took about 2-1/2 weeks to arrive. I do suggest ordering than what you need simply because they're so cheap!!!

Ya, I was thinking of just ordering some more. I think I paid like $6 shipping included for this one. Maybe I'll find another use for it
Starting shoving stuff in a box over the last couple days. Geeze you run out of room quick! Got my hands on an old ADT panel box and thought I could use it. It may get too small. Still have to make up my fan circuit board and get it in here too.

What's the model number on the Meanwells your using to drive the LEDs?

There's a mix of LDD 1000's and 700's then those 2 HLG drivers

How much do the LDD boards sell for?

[daplatapus]

I think it's somewhere around $5-$6 per board after shipping

Just test fired my 12 - 3W 3000mA XM-L's.... HOLY COW BATMAN! Thought I'd ignited a supernova on my work bench. Don't think these suckers will be running very high, lol.

Ugh, wire, wire, wire.

[daplatapus]

I've e-mailed the manufacturer and looked through all available literature on these but still can't figure out what wire is for what. Anyone tell me which wire is +, -, ground and PWM?
