Re: HOWTO: Installing a power-on timer on your S1 (Request)

Well 5 years on and while cleansing the house of X10 devices I changed the X10 universal module that's been semi-reliably controlling our Spaz mini to a super cheap esp8266 wifi processor based relay board. Updated my writeup here . Just picked up an esp8266 with a relay (month away, coming from Ch...

Re: Auto-on circuit parts
