Whohoo!  They actually did it, a hobby-level relay driven by USB.  I'm
amazed.    And I see there are no drivers needed as long as its used with
Win XP or 7.  I stand corrected.

> Load 'usbrelay' to control (apt-get install usbrelay')

One question though : (where and) how did you find that Linux driver ?


Wait, what ?

Under "Technical details" :

Voltage  ?5 Volts
Wattage  ?50 watts

Something is fishy there ... and I only now realize that I do not see any
mentioning for which voltage its output is rated.  If the above is correct
than they have rated it for 5 volts (5V x 10A = 50W), not 220 ...

Do *NOT* use stuff above its voltage rating.  The electrical track
seperation between the (low voltage) driving electronic and (high voltage)
output circuits might not be large enough.
