strung together this:

The only thing about using a relay, is that the solenoid coil in the relay would
have to stay on in one position, when switched. If left for a long period, the
coil may create enough heat to either the enamel on the coil and blow fuses, or
to cause a fire in surrounding materials when the relay housing melts. I
personally don't think a relay is the way to go, unless you can source one that
is designed to be left energised for long, long periods of time.

That's something I did briefly think about. You could use one of those
electronic relay alternative kits with no moving parts instead.
