Hello,
What I'm looking for is, just like in the title, a component which can measure the power consumption and turn off the flow when the power consumption is low. It has to be analog. Let me give an example:
We have a TV that uses 100 watts when turned on and 3 watts on standby.
When the TV is turned on, it should work just like normal and the flow should just run as normal.
But when the TV is on standby, it should turn off when it has been like that after a minute or so.
To turn it on again, you should have to go over to a device and turn it on manually.
The device that should turn off the flow is placed in a power outlet, and the TV connected to the device. Outlet < Device < TV.
I've had some problems finding a way to make this work. I can't really find a component that can measure the electrical current and send a signal.
I hope I've given enough information and that it is understandable. I'll try to answer the questions about specifics as quickly as possible if needed.
