[stingone]

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a way to switch on/off my telephone line. As we have a litte baby we dont like to be desturbed after 8 PM. i thought about a swith in the telephone line. any ideas?

@stingone I think it could be achieved by a relay. I know from the guy from hackaweek at youTube, that there can be peaks of up to 50V on a telephone line. I don't know the amperage, but you can measure that.

Normaly its arround 40V DC between A and B
When being called 40V DC + 20 AC 25Hz.
When the line is open it drops to 10V DC

Amps is arround 30mA

Dont know what kind of relay to use to achieving this.

The relay example should work fine I think.
