Flip-Flop: Pool Pump Control

Finally got around to install the Flip-Flop switch module to control my pool pump.
For those of you who are not familiar with the module, refer to this link.

The Flip-Flop Switch Module is paired with an AC/DC power supply board. The power supply takes 120V-220V AC and deliver a 12V DC @ 250mA. The 12V is used to power the Relay and the Flip-Flop Switch Module. The Switch Module takes the 12V an regulates it to 3.3V.

The AC/DC has an integrated relay that is used to switch electrical device on an off. The relay is controlled via a GPIO coming from the Switch Module.
The Switch Module also has a push button (with integrated LED to show the current state of the relay) to directly control the relay state. The relay can also be controlled by sending a command over wifi to the Switch Module.
