Standby shutdown - sense or nonsense?

I can read, you just can’t write. Read your paragraph above, everything is said in one breath.

So you mean to save 300kWh standby power? Sorry, you really have to calculate that, because honestly it’s completely absurd. That’s never going to be true.

I definitely wrote it differently than you later reproduced it, you should check again. I wrote "can", not want or do. 300kWh per year is less than 40W standby, that adds up quickly (for example my hi-fi rack with everything etc. already has 10W). Do the test in your house as I described. You’ll be amazed. Or just go through all the rooms and write everything down. At least for me, it ends up being a lot. Through phones, WLAN routers, switches, some music etc. players with the kids that are just plugged in and who knows what else adds up, where you can optimize because it’s not always needed.

Who wrote what and who read it how does not change the fact that Saruss is right. Both with the devices in the LAN and with the fact that the standby consumption adds up.

If you only have one TV in the house, of course it is not worth it, but when several other devices are added, it starts. And the additional costs for the option of shutting down are recouped within months.

According to EU guidelines, a device in standby mode may consume a maximum of 0.5W, and in readiness mode including the display of LED, time, etc., a maximum of 1.0W.

Since the devices are also sometimes on, you can assume 4 or 8 kWh per device. Accordingly, that means 1 or 2 euros per device.

With 5 devices, you are at best at 40 kWh or 10 euros. Whether a shut-off for 100 euros pays off is actually irrelevant to me...

For purely comfort reasons, it stays on. Such a shut-off also turns the principle of a remote control into an absurdity...

The EU directive has not been in effect for that long yet. And there are enough exceptions that allow manufacturers to circumvent this regulation (many devices can still do something else in standby mode...). Instead of calculating, measure it. I know from my own home that it is significantly more.

Well, then you know what to pay attention to when buying new devices. Standby consumption is indeed indicated.

No matter how you look at it, the fact remains that a significant amount of euros simply go up in smoke each year... without any return.

For example, when I sleep, the TV and the rest of the devices in the living room and other rooms don't have to wait for someone to come with the remote control. You can save those 7~8 hours per day/night.

And even when you leave the house (because you have to work) usually for 8 hours... the devices can just as well be disconnected from the power supply. Because nobody is there anyway...

So we have 2/3 of the day in which the devices consume those few watts for no reason. That doesn't have to be... the rest of the time, when you are at home, they can stay connected to the power supply.

Or for example a TV in the bedroom... this is usually only on for a few hours in the evening and often it's not a high-end device with a negligible standby consumption. It makes sense to only have it connected when it is actually needed.
