For this controler i used a kit 74 relay board. The relays can handle up to 5 amps per channle.I orderd it off of electrokits for about $34.00.I had to solder it together. You can get it assymbled for about $10.00 more and not solder any thing.

Step 3 : wireing outlets to it.

Go to home depot and buy about 20 feet of 15 amp wire and a 4 space blue light swich box and 4 plugs.wire the outlets to the relays. you can break off the tabs on the hot side of the pluges to make each top and bottem of it have its own channle


Step 4 : cat
