Energy Consumption

[Wiimer]

Hallo, no Screensaver, no Clock, nothing at all, connectet via WLAN to net.
The Powermeter is not a commercial one and not calibrated, it is a consumer one, only for info.

Hi,
Thank you.

It is conceivable that an Ethernet connection could slightly reduce the power consumption, but the Ultra still consumes a lot of power.

The Ultra responds to screen touches even when it is on standby, so the sensor may be consuming electricity.

According to @onlyoneme's review, the Pro Plus was 2.6W.

My WiiM Pro Plus (+) tests

At a moment I can tell that my sample unit has an increased space around the coax socket. And a glossy finish of the chassis. Stay tuned :) Part 0 - a test gear possibly involved RME ADI-2 DAC FS, ESS edition miniDSP Flex, RCA edition E1DA Cosmos ADC, A grade PicoScope 4444 Intona 7055-D...

I currently pay around $0.15 for a kw/h

You must be living in republican state?

That's rather irrational, to say the least.

We’ve been on this forum for long time. We don’t agree on everything but we agree on certain things.

You'd be suprised, I have a very cheap Microwave and on standby it uses almost 30w to light up the clock and open door button.

That is mad. Mine is 0.6W. It would cost £63 in the UK to run your microwave for a year if you never cooked anything in it.

True. We certainly disagree regarding this topic, which is not at the heart of this hobby.
