Easy to implement alternating latch on positive pulse, across the front panel LED on each timeout. For example, at the timeout for a temperature extreme, the controller beeps and the yellow timeout LED flashes momentarily. So the relay can supply external power during the heating phase, and not during the cool down phase.

I'm using this to switch an "ice cube" relay for killing power to a lighting circuit.I like the screw terminals and practical-sized mounting holes in the PCB, which make it easy to integrate this board into my application. Other options have no holes, or tiny holes, or the holes are too crowded-in to actually use.I also appreciate the button for testing, and that the trigger leads are provided with a little connector. Screw terminals would have been ideal for me, but anything is better than the designs that just leave you with a couple vertical pins sticking up. What am I supposed to do with that?Depending on your application, my one complaint might actually be a bonus: the trigger is quite sensitive, which makes it susceptible to bounce. The momentary pushbutton switch I'm using has *awful* bounce, making it nearly impossible to use this latching relay consistently. It would always trigger and then immediately un-trigger, until I added a "debounce" resistor and capacitor. I guessed at the polarity and seem to have gotten it right; cathode of capacitor goes towards the pin on the trigger pigtail that does /not/ have the red trace.

I used it to test some other stuff and it works well. Nice low voltage relay

This is not a great module. In my automotive application it's the first module on the end. While it's a 12V low-level triggered relay module, the input feeds into a 5V logic chip meaning you can't connect it to a normally 12V button that grounds when you press it. I suspect that's why 1 of the modules I received didn't work - someone connected a normally 12V signal to the input & killed the input chip. I carefully protected the circuit with a diode to prevent problems. The output is wired with 12V on the common and a normally disconnected output to a rear laser fog lamp. Unfortunately the relay causes a very odd ground spike when it triggers. Luckily my application is resilient enough to tolerate this, but I can tell ground jumps up 5+V momentarily on my multi-meter when this relay triggers. I've asked the seller for a replacement in case it's internally faulty and ultimately dies on me.

My mom used it for her senior project in school. Worked perfectly.

Meh, relay logic is slow. May take 3 -5 presses to get desired logic output. Hopefully I will find something better soo.

12v version is working great

The Latch does a good job of opening and closing the relay.The issue is that it is just a relay, that is, a switch. The wiring diagram says that DC power comes off of the two relay connections. There's no power, just conductivity.The photos show this, and the work-around.I was using this device to control a solenoid valve under the kitchen sink, so I can turn the water on and off by pushing my knee against a cabinet door. (a micro-switch detects the pressure on the door. See Kneed Water video on YouTube.) It's not much fun working under a sink, so I was pretty unhappy when I determined that the incorrect wiring diagram had caused me so much time and suffering.
