Goggle found me this http://tw.taobao.com/item/522572250663.htm

which looks like the item. I think its 24.90 Chinese Yuan, or around £2.56, or $4, plus delivery.

BTW, the maximum safe load for the relay, according to the datasheet is 1250VA at 250VAC resistive for normally open contact, but it might be 750VA as it's not clear on the relay type. This will not be adequate for any water heater or kettle that I own. An air conditioner will most likely be poor power factor, so the contact rating would be say 1A/250VA in that case, so no good for that use either.

Ok! This is how the APP looks.

The more I look at this article, the more suspicious I become.

I find this amazing gadget from Itead Online shop.

Nobody else can!!! Even google:

They only costs me half less than those wifi switches!

So somewhere between 10 and 50 dollars?

Ok, let me give you a brief introduction about this gadget(just name it wifi adapter).

Why not call it by its real name!

Download their free APP(IOS or Android).

What app?

See my borrowed pic bellow:

Why not a real pic?

And I can use the brain-APP to control everything.

Brain-APP? Could't find that!

I wonder why this smart thing is unknown.

I wonder:

I think I must tell everybody about it.

The fact is... You haven't really told us ANYTHING have you.

(Apart from the name of a website.)

I can't find the device on Itead Studio website - can you post a link.

The way you are using it is unsafe - you should NEVER have an exposed board with mains power on it - put it in a plastic box with proper strain relief on the cables and the little terminal blocks INSIDE the box. Because you need to press the button on a PCB connected to the mains you need to design a box with an insulated actuator for the button. Read up on the local regulations for mains powered things and make sure that even your DIY stuff complies.

BTW - you are taking a different kind of risk saying things like:

'even the girls can install it easily'

which might well upset people.

It is an interesting part - how much did it cost ?
