I am new at electronics -- so forgive possible stupid questions.
I am trying to replace a wall light switch with a touch sensor switch.
I intend to use a capacitive touch sensor with a relay switch.
The touch sensor will be DC voltage; the relay switch will be the AC voltage.
How can I use the AC voltage in the wall switch to power the DC voltage for the touch sensor?
In the alternative, is there an AC voltage touch sensor I should use instead?
Finally, is there a completely different alternative method I should use?
Thank you for your input!
