USB powersockets in the wall outlets

This is definitely a solution I'll keep my eye on in the future.

Has anybody seen a solution like this on our dutch wallsockets? This has "awesome sauce" all over it.


Things I do wonder BTW:
- it has to be an adapter/converter inside the socket. What will the idle powerconsumption be if no usb device is connected..
- How will it work with the readings when connecting a plugwise or other power meter to it as well.
- I wonder about the Interference from these devices into the wallsocket area when also connecting it to a power meter like plugwise or similar device.

*updated title to be more clear about the topic (Thanks Alexander)*

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!

Fibaro HC2, various z-wave switching, alerting, detection modules.
ELV FHT80b heating system.

ahhh it's a power adapter for usb-powered devices, like a charger for phones. I thought about other things :wink:

Came across this one some time ago:
Jung USB charger

It's not combined with 230V outlets though...
