I meant to use a 9V battery but now I use a 3S 18650 cell battery, which means it is 12.6V when fully charged. When I measured the output voltage yesterday, it was 11.77V (before going through the diode, so that is why it was 11.42V above), not too low, right? When I used the voltage of the battery before going through the relay to power the whole circuit, it still worked.Your voltage and relay vibration is probably because your tiny 9V battery is severely overloaded. It is made to operate a low current smoke alarm for 1 year.
