   I'm looking for a USB controlled mains switch (230V AC) that I can   
   connect to a PI to turn a mains power supply on and off.   
      
   I've done a bit of digging around on the net, and the options seem to   
   fall into two categories, either a relay device which means having to   
   rewire the device (which I'd rather avoid), priced around 30Euros or one   
   that sits in line (between the device and the supply).  The latter   
   appears to be in excess of 100Euros, which is considerably more than I   
   want to pay.   
      
   Any suggestions on where to look ?  I'm not interested in a wireless   
   solution, as it is likely to be used in places where signals are not   
   reliable.   
      
   Thanks
