Ahh.. good. Another brand/source for this kind of stuff. These ones look a little less turn-key than some of the others, but in the same ballpark for price.

The Arduino is all open hardware/open source, so of course it'll be a little rough around the edges wink


That's not rough, but, rather, more flexible! smile

Mmm.. only two GPIO pins, and a surprising lack of information about the product -- not even a pin-out description. How not to sell something on the web.

But it could be useful in combination with the Serial Relay control box.. smile

Thanks!
