Web controlled relays malfunction when carrying load

you are more than likely experiencing electromagnetic interference due to radiated magnetic field emissions or conducted susceptibility issues. What kind of current is flowing through the relays?

in a project i have built, i am using a 8 channel relay (not all 8 channels are actually used) and i list where i got it in the first post. i only use 115 VAC, and the entire system only draws around 3 amps. the system has had no issues once i got all of the software glitches fixed. :grin:

the suggestions to use a different source to power the arduino should work, or you can get a "Curtis filter" http://www.curtisind.com/RFIFilters/. these filters will help to filter out any common-mode or differential mode noise that may be on the line. another option to try would be to try separating the relay board from the arduino board.

i do not think you should have to go through all of this as i am sure other people have not had as many issues switching the loads you desire, but it may help.
