Would you mind expanding on the power consumption figures you’ve mentioned please? I’m primarily interested in idle power consumption as most of the time my machine will be idling or doing very little. I’m assuming the power consumption figures you mention aren’t idle power consumption, but I’m not sure what they represent and if there’s a way to approximate/predict an idle power consumption from them.
I won’t necessarily be looking into the processors you mentioned, but understanding this might help me extract more useful info when I look at online CPU and PC specs.
Thanks
I have Ring. I haven’t tried anything else. Something I like about Ring is each person in the house gets their own app account and can configure their own notification preferences. When I was looking at options 4-5 years ago (when I bought my first Ring) it generally wasn’t clear to me if other systems had this.
Definitely wouldn’t want to use a siren. A light might work but a chance I wouldn’t notice it for a while. I’d rather have a notification on my phone.
