The use case is following:

I’d like to turn off my server at night. Sometimes I stop at 12, sometimes at 1 or 2. If I could ask “is someone watching?” And it returns false, I could postpone the shutdown.

The current solution is to always turn off at 2 and turn on at 7.

How do you guys handle the situation?

    Ok so I did some testing, from the wall it’s about 7 watts idle. I wonder where that extra 5 is coming from, oh well still pretty good!

    Sleeping it’s less than 1 watt, so I might see if I can let it sleep at night somehow

      Most likely PSU efficiency because they are bad on super low power. Still insane, 7W is nothing
