The one thing: You HAVE to prevent your control circuit (like
Arduino) from sending spurious signals to the relay on power-up to
prevent unwanted/uncontrolled switching. Known issue and solutions are
on the internet i.e.
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/relay-turn-on-whenever-i-turn-on-arduino/644387
I would guess the Pi behaves in a similar way.
