Don't even think about discrete component solutions unless you plan to make a million of these.
Let engineers who specialize in this solution do all of the hard work for you.
I have been using these for many years to do exactly what you are intending.

They are reliable, robust (almost indestructable), easy to use, and for most applications require no external components including flyback diodes. If you have a micro then you can get diagnostic information from them too (open, short, overtemp, etc.).
