I find this absolutely astounding for you to say the boards aren't suitable to switch mains voltage.
What do you expect people to be using these boards for ?
I remind you that the two you post above were not available when the IRIO and the sub boards I have were released / purchased.
At that time the ISM04 was yet to be available to order, despite being posted about.
Also, take a look at this post, where a user mentions current rating of contacts, and you tell him to use the ISM06 (initially ISM07 too, but corrected by Ingo)

There was a lengthy discussion around these boards back when you introduced them over which was suitable for switching lighting, based on current rating of contacts, and that included the current rating between the two types of boards.
Read most of the threads in this section and you make no mention of not being suitable to switch mains voltage, only current rating.
This is why I bought the ones I did, rather than the board with lower rated contacts (which incidentally I do have too, elsewhere).
This feels so much like I was a beta tester...
The sales information says it suitable to control lights, heating and fans.

Do you expect people to fit a relay panel to switch the mains, and your relays just switch those relays ?
If so that is nuts !
To be clear here, this panel switches less than 6A TOTAL.
Each output switches as follows:
- 4 x 40w lamps (conventional incandescent)
- 1 x 60w lamp (conventional incandescent)
- 1 x 60w lamp (conventional incandescent)
- 4 x 20w step lamps (smpsu for leds in each)
- 1 x 20w lamp (cfl)
- 1 x 20w lamp (cfl)
So all are switching less than 1Amp, but I was conscious of any potential inrush current.
I'm now waiting for you to tell me the RLY01B's I am using to switch our other lights are not suitable for the job either...
Not feeling the love this end.
I'm a great supporter of the comfort system, had it for close on 20 years, evolving and updating it over time, but this makes me question the suitability of my installation.
I had intended to replace a bunch of my lighting control with these but held off. Glad I did now...
Sorry if this seems like a rant, but I spent a bunch of time making sure I made the right choices. If I hadn't had this problem I would be totally oblivious of your statement that they aren't suitable for mains switching...
