In order to be absolutely sure that I have really switched off all devices (soldering iron, etc.) after leaving my workplace\/desk, I have been switching the consumers at my desk via a central socket for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, this has become an annoying problem over time. Because a few consumers are connected to this central socket, which draw a very high current at the moment they are switched on. That's not necessarily always a problem. In my case, however, it is problematic because the fuse that protects the circuit on my desk is very sensitive and the associated circuit is correspondingly busy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that when the central socket is switched on, the associated fuse sometimes also blows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is of course not further tragic since the line is not permanently overloaded. However, I was looking for an easy way to fix this problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is a socket programmed with the Tasmota firmware, which is configured in such a way that it switches on the built-in relay with a slight delay. After switching on the power supply, this socket waits a few seconds until the connected consumers are switched on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This socket is connected to the central socket in such a way that it is only supplied with energy after the central socket has been switched on. At the same time, I have shifted some of the consumers at my workplace\/desk to the socket configured with the switch-on delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if I now switch on the central socket, some of the consumers on my desk are switched on and the configured Tasmota socket is supplied with energy. This then switches on the rest of the consumers at my desk about two seconds later. As a result, the high inrush current that triggered my fuse is distributed over two switching operations and the fuse no longer triggers. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article describes how you can configure a Tasmota socket with a switch-on delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety instructions <\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.<\/span>
