P11GTV Master plug

[Anonymous user]

The Master plug on my P11GTV works as expected to control the appropriate plugs when I use a device such as a TV, computer or house fan. However, when I plug a device such as a RaspberryPi into the Master plug, powering on that device does not trigger the Controlled By Master plugs.

What levels of power draw are required to trigger the Master plug to work as expected?

Hi Donald,

Sorry for the delayed response. It took me sometime to obtain the information.

The minimum Slave Off threshold is 15W.

The maximum Slave Off threshold can be up to 250W.

Slave On threshold is Slave Off threshold + 5W.

It would appear the Raspberry Pi is not drawing enough power to trigger the control function.

Product	Recommended PSU current capacity	Maximum total USB peripheral current draw
Raspberry Pi Model A	700mA	500mA
Raspberry Pi Model B	1.2A	500mA
Raspberry Pi Model A+	700mA	500mA
Raspberry Pi Model B+	1.8A	600mA/1.2A (switchable)
