delayed on power switch

Post by **Willem4ever** » Thu May 15, 2008 4:36 pm

I have some power hungry devices that need to be switched on with a (random) delay after power failure. Now when power returns the load current is too high and the automatic fuse 'switches off'

i would assume you dont have lots of power failures no? Also depends on what types of devices your powering. Big motors? or something else?

Think about normal 220 volt applicances, i just want to avoid they swicth on all at the same time.

Well if you use homeseer for instance, i think those things should be possible. Never seen an example like that, but i know that homeseer has a recovery process. I dont know if that includes turning on/off the last known state.

But those devices should be switched with x10 modules or something similar then.

Not an option, should be autonomously ... or thru serial / usb
