Abstract
Generally, PLC (Power Line Communication) based home automation devices such as wall switch, walt socket, gas controller, etc, must maintain wake-up status at all time to control other electronic devices and monitor their on/off status whether they are in service or not. In order to reduce the unnecessary energy consumption during the standby mode, the new power-saving PLC 2 ports wall switch has been developed, separating PLC communication part and controller part and introducing sleep mode. In addition, to expand life cycle of PLC product and to reduce the rate of product failure in active mode, the instant controlling method in controlling process is adopted instead of the maintenance controlling method. In comparison to the earlier model, the new 2 ports PLC wall switch has reduced power by 0.95[W] less in standby mode and 3.2[W] less in active mode than the previous one.
