Yes, that should work for you. In regards to turning 12v into 5v to power your control system. You should be able to disassemble a car 12v to 5v USB charger in order to obtain your 5v ( just make sure it can supply enough current to power your controls).

The AC terminals are exposed, please use a great deal of caution when working with the AC.

Stay safe!
