Hi there.

Basically, it`s possible to control whether a light interruptor is on or off.

By other means, I would like to control a eletricity switch.

Thank you.

Do you mean a relay?

I think so.

I want to control the deliver of eletricity to a device plugged in the eletricity network.

I think that maybe you can try a relay which is better for your work.......

Certainly possible using either a simple relay (electromechanical) or a SSR (solid state relay). It would be necessary to know what the wattage load (voltage AC and current draw) is of what you wish to control so the proper relay or SSR can be specified.

I bought a relay board from this shop:

Saves you a lot of trouble finding the right parts making a board ets.
