| I want to leave electronics plugged in the outlets without worrying about they're using unnecessary electricity. | |
| Idea: | |
| Place an electricity controller in-between the breakers and the rest of the wires going to the outlets. | |
| This controller will serve as a relay switch that let current pass in certain conditions (e.g. time of the day, demand, etc). | |
| I don't need the switching mechanism to be per outlet. Usually, breakers distribution are well made and a relay for every breaker will do just fine for my needs. During the day all house outlets should be off minus the one affecting the fridge. Rest of them I want them to be turned on, initially, by demand. | |
| What's out there? | |
| Home Automation outlets | |
| Smart outlets | |
| This could solve controlling the electric supply of appliances, but still require electricity consumption for every smart outlet/switch. I want a rule-them-all solution to eventually consume less electricty. | |
