   Whohoo!  They actually did it, a hobby-level relay driven by USB.  I'm   
   amazed.    And I see there are no drivers needed as long as its used with   
   Win XP or 7.  I stand corrected.

   One question though : (where and) how did you find that Linux driver ?   
      
      
   Wait, what ?   
      
   Under "Technical details" :   
      
   Voltage  ?5 Volts   
   Wattage  ?50 watts   
      
   Something is fishy there ... and I only now realize that I do not see any   
   mentioning for which voltage its output is rated.  If the above is correct   
   than they have rated it for 5 volts (5V x 10A = 50W), not 220 ...   
      
   Do *NOT* use stuff above its voltage rating.  The electrical track   
   seperation between the (low voltage) driving electronic and (high voltage)   
   output circuits might not be large enough.
