I am confusing the appliance that not given in full detail. May i know what appliances apply for this project? I have phototransistor as the input device as ICs, relays are the control device but i didnt know what appliance for output? Some kind of lock? If so, what kind of lock to apply using electricity?
Any device that you could plug into the wall. The relay contacts are allowing AC current to flow. So they could be anything, that is why they are not specified in detail.
What salesman? Why do you have to tell him anything?
How about a fan? How about a table lamp?
Use your imagination, that's why you have one. You are allowed to be creative, or maybe not depending on where you live. Possibly you are worried about minders ??
