My other half has a terrible habit of leaving everything on - I often come home to realise that she has nipped out, leaving all the applicances in our living room (Raspberry Pi 2, Amplifier, Sub-Woofer and TV).
I know that the Pi just sips electricity but I was wondering whether there are any solutions for automatically turning off the other three devices when in not in use.
I was looking at an energy saver extension lead that automatically turn off appliances but would this even work with a Pi 2? Is there a lower powermode that the Pi can enter that would be sufficient to allow the power strip to detect and switch off the other outlets?
