I am considering connecting a relay to my heater and AC lines such that I can have HS or the ELK track how often my heater and AC kick in. While some of this could be done via tracking of the t-stat values, I am thinking that if not too difficult of wiring in a relay and then feed the NO and common of the relay outputs to inputs of the ELK.
So, I figure that 24 volt AC on the trigger side of the relay will continuously cycle the relay 60 times per second, right? This would be bad.
While not a electronics engineer, I am only aware of DC triggered relays. Are there AC triggered relays?
Thoughts?
