I don't want smart gadgets in my house. Remember those smart thermostats in Colorado? I'm starting to wonder if they could do the same with these dang smart electric meters they installed without my permission.
There is no need for any device. A simple circuit in you charger tells it if something is requesting resources so if nothing is connected no resources are consumed.
Think of a light bulb that will last forever and use no electricity if you don't throw the switch. The lightbulb knows to light up if something like the light switch makes a connection to the power which resides in the outlet.
It would only cost a few cents per device to save massive amounts of electricity if this technology was installed in every charger. Not one single environmentalist is calling for this solution even though it has been around for decades. They would be able to scam Trillions if they advocated for this simple solution.
