USB powered 110v relay

12-14-2014, 12:38 PM

I was looking for a kit or other "things" to build my own "USB powered 110v switch" and ran across this website.

PowerUSB - USB Controlled Power strip, Computer Watchdog, PLC

http://www.pwrusb.com/index.html

PowerUSB is an automation and energy saving device. It supports outlet control through software in attached computer via USB. The lights or any devices can be switched on remotely or through timed software applications

I know many here are more versed with this kind of thing an wanted your opinion on building my own or any other solutions that might exist.

Conceptually, I want 110v power to be switched on when the USB is energized.

You could find a relay that uses USB voltage for the coil power and make what you need with a spare power strip and some time.

Yeah sounds like you just need a relay that switches at 3.5v or whatever USB is
