hello board,
I am working on a project that needs to be able to switch on 1500 watts. The load is a radiator type heater from honeywell, now this heater is digital and I was kinda thinking maybe I should "hack" into it and control the heater from the digital side, instead of messing with the 120V 10.3 amps.
Which way would you do it? If I hacked into the digital circuitry of the heater, I don't want to ruin the heater potentially, but I did purchase it at Walmart a week ago, and can return it lol...
Say the heater wasn't digitally controlled, what would be the best way to turn on a load like this?
