Step 6: Connect wires

Pop the relay switch into the breadboard circuit and connect each pair of wires to opposite sides of the relay.

I'm assuming this is an optocoupler, a 4N28 or a NEC2501 or similar? Does the speaker from a battery alarm clock provide enough current?

Personally, I'd invest in one of those alarm clock sets for deaf people. It's a vibrator pad that you put under your mattress. Shakes the living crap out of you.

Where can I find the right ";relay switch?"; So far, I've gone through about 20. All bought from different places. NONE work. There's gotta be someone out there who's discovered which specific relay actually works. HELP!
