This is my garage signal "control" box. Basically, there's a 40A contactor inside that box, controlled by the GPIO of a Particle Photon microcontroller. I have an IFTTT button that triggers the Particle to turn on or off the contactor, which goes straight to one of the duplex outlets below, which powers all the signals in the garage. The ammeter shows the current draw of my signals. Typically peaks between 7-8 amps! The Particle also powers the lights on the front of my garage, turning them on and off at sunset/sunrise, and will also control a bell I plan on wiring up eventually.
