Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery
-
yes, i'm on ubuntu, using all the default drivers.
and i would guess its finnicky because its an old laptop.
-
Yeah, I never expect a financial ROI for hobbies; the ROI for that is nothing more than my own enjoyment.

Hah, Wyze use the same shell for their WiFi model: https://a.co/d/3kSQaoF
I think these are all based off these ZigBee models at $4 a pop: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/US-Smart-Home-Tuya-Alexa-Voice_1601241553658.html

There are a couple of ways:
- Formally add a system entry to run at suspend/resume (like how nvidia does in their driver package)
Or
- Write a script that rmmods, suspends, sleeps, modprobes, and map it to Cntrl-Alt-Shift-S
I usually do 2 because I like the hotkey method for desktops, and it keeps things the same for both. Also allows me to close a lid on a laptop and leave it on. But 1 is more "formal".
Happy to share some scripts if you'd like, on my phone now, though.

Yeah I use Linux for my servers and my HTPC, but I never really hibernate or sleep those so I had no idea if it might occur there too. It's great to hear this is not likely to be an issue - thanks

Ok, just be sure it has an integrated circuit breaker otherwise its just....a surge protector. You'll also need to identify what load it triggers at. For example, I use these on my gear https://tripplite.eaton.com/isobar-4-outlet-surge-protector-6-ft-cord-3300-joules-diagnostic-leds~ISOBAR4ULTRA and they're rated to 12A which should protect a 15A rated smart plug. I put rated in italics because errrryone is buying CE (instead of UL listed) smart plugs.

Did you check the bios?
-
how do i do 1? having timeout to suspend and lid close to suspend would be great. and id like to see some example scripts!
i had pretty much given up on standby with this one.

If it gets the wife approval you know you are on to something
-
Questionable approach since a cheap 'surge protector' could very well start a fire

I recently bought a Mac Mini because music production on Linux had me fighting my tools more than using them. My Linux box is a 7800x3d/7800xtx. The Mini idles at 4w, while the 78000xtx alone idles closer to 50w. I use the mini for everything non-gaming now.

I'm not OP or the right person. Wrong recipient lol. But info was noted for my own use.

What unhealthy eating habit are you indulging in at 21:45?

Current spike from both freezers starting up

Will grab some when I back, but assuming you are using
systemd, it's easy if you follow this old but good method: https://blog.christophersmart.com/2016/05/11/running-scripts-before-and-after-suspend-with-systemd/If that doesn't work out of the box, it's likely because you're hitting S1 instead of S3, but give that test script a shot and let me know how it goes!
-
i will test that out later today, thanks!
-
100W while idling seems like way too much?
