## Article

Switching power circuits - **sockets**, **lights**,** blinds**, pumps and other devices under 110-230V is one of the essential functions of an intelligent house. At **Pi-Home**, we are using **Arduino Mega** boards with Ethernet Shield, which control Arduino's compatible **SSR relays** connected with high power relays of the switchboard.

### **What we'll need**

[Part 2 - OpenHAB na Raspberry Pi](https://opentux.eu/solutions/smart-home/how-to/openhab-raspberry-pi-guide)

Arduino Mega with Ethernet Shield (DIN holder)

Arduino SSR relay 8x2A/230V (DIN holder)

Installation relay ie EATON Z-R230/S or multiphase EATON Z-R230/4S

DC Power Source 5V 40W (DIN)
