My typical Insteon wall keypad or switch seems to use 0.6 watts in standby. I have other devices with more modern power supplies that use less than 0.1w. I'd like the power consumption to be improved as my setup costs me over $300 a year in extra power costs. That's money that could go to buying yet more modules.

There's a lot changed with i3 models, I'm wondering what the draw is on them.? -
So far I haven't had need of an I3 model. The most recent On/Off module tests at 0.2w standby, 0.4w with the relay down. That's better than the 0.6w standby draw from a keypad. The relay down draw is important since I use them as E-Boots on some devices. On the plus side, I just put a dimmer module on my recirculating pump and saved about 15w without loosing functionality.Originally posted by paulbates View PostComment

Can you tell me how you measured it? I'm putting in several I3 paddles in the near future and have a volt meter, I could do it if I knew the steps.Originally posted by Kyle View PostComment

I'm using a watt meter plug (like Kill-a-watt) with 0.1w accuracy. For the switches I just temporarily hook a coord to them and plug them in to it.Originally posted by paulbates View PostComment
