Question for UPAMD control




All,

Is there any way to control power to multiple devices based on the activity of one device one device?  

A handshake with the computer that indicates it is going to sleep, or being shut off (even though a battery may be charging in a laptop) would turn off the unneeded peripherals.  A peripheral manufacturer may design this in, or a user can choose from the list of attached devices.  The latter would be needed for a peripheral like a WiFi enable printer can be selected for shutdown if unused by others, or left on.

The same this would apply if UPAMD is used for a home entertainment system (TV off, DVD player, surround sound, etc. off, DVR remains on).

Taken to the extreme, an office or a home could use UPAMD to control all its power (with UPAMD adapter modules to control things requiring 240W and above).

A computer tied system has the advantage of being able to use software control, other applications may not afford a sophisticated control system.

Thanks,
