switching of AC device using touchpad.

Hello friends,

I am using my household device i.e. working on AC. It contains its own switch for on and off. Now i want to use touch pad only for switch on the device and switch off the device. what are easiest possible solutions?

thanks in advance...

You can get cheap lamps for your house... They work on touch....

Here is a typical circuit.. https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?img...a=X&ei=ZjFeUpjIAanL0QXl9oDwDQ&ved=0CDEQ9QEwAQ

I was thinking the Pi could do it.
