Is my appliance compatible with the Amazon Smart Plug? | 19mm Momentary Push Button

What about putting a uC in SSRs, so you can ask the think if it’s an original part or not. Propper encryption needs to be implemented of course.

If you had the choice between two identical-looking boards, with the same pictures, and review ratings, would you spend an extra 20¢ on the more expensive one? That twenty cents really adds up, you know- if I was buying 1,000 ESP-12 boards, for example, that would be two hundred dollars saved, and you would be pretty happy with yourself. That is, if it works. Otherwise, you feel really dumb.

Agreed…. I used to have a small plastic box in our workshop. It had two copper contacts on opposite surfaces, and a 9V battery, relay and tilt switch inside, and a Caution High Voltage sticker on it,

Being able to “let go” doesn’t help when your insides are burnt and your heart has ceased meaningful function.

The very first point to make clear when writing an article like this one is that you should disregard any ideas of “safe” voltages or currents. While the story about some significant number of people who die every year from licking a 9-volt battery is probably an urban legend and you have little to worry about from low voltage equipment, it is best to look at any higher voltages as potentially dangerous and react accordingly.

Growing up in a family surrounded by electricians, we were always discussing codes and theory around the house. Much of what I know came second-hand through my dad but also through Mike Holt, a well-known electrical author and instructor I now have the privilege of calling a friend.

We’ve seen very few car charging hacks. If you know of one, or have been working on your own, let us know!

Something about your calculation here doesn’t make sense to me. 117 EV miles, and I estimate a Niro like this will get roughly 3 miles per kWh (that’s what my Volt does roughly). That means 117/3 = 39 kWh used. 39 times your cheap electricity rate is $2.54, not $7.61.

I stuck a finger in a light socket when I was about 3 years old back in Brooklyn NY and got a momentary buzz sensation. Nothing more. I got a few more 110V shocks as a US Army Air Force student of electronics back in 1944. No problems but I was warned to keep my left hand in my pocket in uncertain situations to not form a circuit through my heart, Here in Helsinki where I now live I have taken 220 V a couple of times. Nothing I’d recommend but no harm done. Nevertheless, I’m careful and never fool around with wet hands.

China needs to sort it’s shit out. Eventually, they might, then that’ll be OK. They may evolve the same way the West did til their business standards are reputable. Of course, that all happened to the West around the 19th and 20th Centuries. Since then, in the West, corruption has increased, and political bodies are bought and paid for by gigantic mega-corps, seeking monopolism and every other bent tactic they can try, for an eternally increasing share price.
