Title: Switchmote - Reduced parts

Felix, Love your stuff - Thanks!
Is it possible for you to sell the Switchmote kit minus the relay(s) and power supply?
I am considering a custom installation and the relays / power supply would be redundant. Just asking. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback ;)

Reduced: Yes it's possible.

Q1: Will you use this with Moteinos?
Q2: How would you provide power though? The DC side expects 5V (it's just some passives and NPNs so it could be less actually but testing was done at 5V)

Q1 - Yes, used with Moteinos.
Q2 - Plan on using 5VDC power supply which will be powered by UPS.

We see a lot of brown conditions and have even suffered through a lighting strike. Would like to separate the power so the Moteinos are protected. Probably overkill, but....

I see,
But if you're not using the RECOM PSU (supplying your own 5V via UPS sounds like), and not using the relays either, then what's the rationale of using the SM3-PSU board at all?
