So, I'm thinking of doing a "AC MAINS" relay for the "ON SWITCH."
Back in my day of working on TV's and Stereos, the way most of them "switched the AC MAINS ON." was-
They would have a little "Stand By" transformer permanently attached and running off the AC LINE IN, putting 12v on the main AC relay, IR sensor etc, logic stuff etc... All waiting for the "ON" command from either that TACT switch or IR "low"
I have a neat little EAO lit push switch that I like to use... thought about using it for power, but would obviously have to do the relay circuit.
Anyone designed with AC ON relays like this? Any design considerations to mention?
