I found this relay board that appears to be connectable by wifi.

I was trying to find ways of creating a panel of randomly blinking 12v light switches.
Could the EZ B's wifi (in the mode where it's independent from your network) be used to control this relay board to do what I want it to? I guess the alternative would be to get an arduino to do it and control that with the EZ B.
thanks,

The ez-b can't control things over its own wifi network, it can only be controlled. If you can somehow get the relay connected to the ez-bs wifi you could connect to it via your computer.
You could also connect the ez-b to your home network.
Not sure if the ez-b could ever send that speed of data if you managed to wire it up.

That could definitely work, though I think I may end up simply getting another EZ B to do the lights. Although it's total overkill, it's about the same price as the Wizzey board and would not have the noise problem that I'd get from a relay board + arduino (maybe there's some quiet relay boards out there but the cheap Sainsmart ones are apparently noisy).
The only other thing I can think of is my original plan to use a tiny board that blinks LEDs in sequence, and randomly place the lights around to simulate the random blinking effect. The only problem is that I'd have to take out the existing 12v bulbs from beneath their colored lenses (which turns out to be difficult without damaging the housing) and replace them with the board's LEDs. Doable, but after all the soldering / desoldering, etc, I figure it may be easier to just get another EZ B and run it at 12v.

When I get home I'll have a read properly. In other words dont count it out just yet.
Anyway the board starts the normal light show effect as soon as it's powered up so if you don't need the added effects you may not even need the grounding circuit.
