Hi guys!

I need to know how to configure to automaticaly turn off my Asus O!Play HDP-R1 to a specified time (example 5 minutes).
I cannot find any service to do that on moServices3
I have the firmware AMP r11 (from here: viewtopic.php?t=1030).

I need this because I need to save electricity :D

Thanks!

Overquoting! Forum Rules 4.19 We remember well that was written in previous post.

5w ?! 5w maybe when turn off, when turn on I measured 50-60W!

If the Asus R1 maximum power consumption is 5w-10w why they have the same power brick from Asus netbooks (Asus EEE)? does not make sense.
5W is the power consumption of your phone charger, and doesn't look like the power brick found on Asus R1...

Even if consume only 5w it is money that comes out in electricity bill = waste

Hmmm, I'm not saying you're wrong but, how did you measure 50~60W? What tool did you use?

I always thought that they consumed 5~10W when idling (doing nothing).
Always thought they would consume ~30W when playing media. Still, I never read that anywhere nor did I measure it myself. It was always a hunch.

That could be easily explained. That way they didn't have to buy (they don't build psu units ;)) several different psu's for products that use similar figures. Why buy different psu's for 2 gadgets, one that uses 30W and another that uses 50W? Yes, the customer would save a bit on the electrical bill but they would need a lot less logistics using just 1 kind of psu.

Couldn't agree more with you, especially with the prices they are charging us here (in Portugal) these days...

When I said that: spimenta wrote:

Doesn't make sense an power brick used in Asus netbooks, if they only consume 5W, which is false, the power consumption is about 50W (I measured with an power meter like Kill-A-Watt).

Yes I live in Portugal and that is why i make this topic in the forum, but yet anyone answer to my question, I will continue to wait... Because the original firmware has the option to turn off the device automatically after an period of time.

In fact, if your "similar to kill-a-watt" device is reading 50~60W then the R1 consumes more power than the average Eeepc from Asus. Hence, it makes sense for them to use the same PSU on the netbooks and on their media players ;).
Did you buy your "similar to kill-a-watt" device here in Portugal? If so, care to tell me where I can find one of those and for how much €?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Thanks. I guess we'll have to talk about this one of these days.
