Hello,
I intend to automate some function and implement an alarm in my house using an Arduino.
First i'd appreciate an advice on how should i control the lights, mainly CFL rated at 5W to 40W, 220VAC. I was thinking of optoisolated SSRs as in https://www.futurlec.com/SSRAC.shtml but from the web i could see people comlaining that SSR's destroy CFL quite quikly. If mechanical relays are preferred, any special precaution?
Same for electric roller shutters: are SSRs recommended? and if mechanical relays are recommended, would i need a protection network?
Many thanks in advance
