Hub Two Arrived :)

My Hub Two arrived today and gives me the chance to thank @Mav publicly for sussing the reason I resorted to Thumbsnap for attachments: I needed to request Desktop site. Wink

 

Not sure why mobile users wouldn’t need to attach files, but hey; it works. Smiley

 

Impressed with the length of the power cord! Smiley

Re: Hub Two Arrived :)

Can anyone confirm the power consumption of a Hub Two please? "Apparently it consumes 8.11 Watt hours (0.00811 kWh) of electrical energy for every hour" Anyone know how this compares to Vodafone's TH3000?

The details of the HubTwo are all here.  No idea on other ISPs equipment.

Thanks. The THG3000 is rated at 12v at 2.5 amps, which is 30 watts, so will use 0.72kWh per day.

Re: Hub Two Arrived :)

Hub Two would be 0.00811 kWh x 24 = 0.19464 Seems a *lot* less.

That's the max rating of the PSU. It wont actually consume that but information on actual cons seems pretty sparse...

Re: Hub Two Arrived :)

It’s all a minefield. I don’t think manufacturers want you to know what a product consumes. Sad

Re: Hub Two Arrived :)

Hub Two jumps to 18.80 W under load. so 0.01389 x 24 = 0.33336

Re: Hub Two Arrived :)

When leccy was <10p/kwh it probably wasnt worth the effort to check what all these devices permanently on were using, now at >30p/kwh it is. If I'm away for a week or more I'll now turn everything apart from essential like fridge and freezer, off. From checking smart meter data , I reckon the non-essential (when not in the house) stuff amounts to about 50w, so 1kw/day!

Re: Hub Two Arrived :)

I am the same in turning off non-essential devices. I once couldn’t work out why I was consuming an extra 1kwh a day, until I found I’d left a light on in the garage! Smiley

 

it looks like the Hub Two is slightly less power hungry than the THG, but time will show.
