Shardik Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'm considering implementing some wireless outlet switches to try to limit my standby power use. I'm curious if anyone else has done this and if they have any tips especially with C4 integration. For example, my family room TV, cable and streaming device setup should I not have the standby power on these shut down during normal use hours? I'm already on a 7 second delay there so not really wanting to slow it down much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEORY Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Put something on to measure how much use in standby to see if your experiment is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Put something on to measure how much use in standby to see if your experiment is worth it. My entire rack. Hc800 / Tivo / time adaptor / bd / roku / popbox / avr /4 zone matrix amp / speakerpoint / nas / backup nas / 2 USB drive / router / switch / wap and likely more I forget uses 1.7a on standby and with the avr on playing a movie from the nas and music in the other 5 locations loud enough to get the fans moving on the amp I can get that to 2.6A. Likely your plan is not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malelan Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The Belkin WeMo insight switch driver from chowmain has a built in trigger for this and works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
