Sonoff ZIGBEE Dongle and power consumption

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! 

I just finished building my first server with these components: 

 

- Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR4

- i3 13100

- 32GB DDR4 2666

- Crucial P5 Plus 1 TB

- PicoPSU 150w

 

Everything is perfect (8-9w idle with 2 VM started which is stunning) until I plug in my zigbee usb dongle. The power consumption increases of about 7-8w with no reason at all as the same dongle attached to a Raspberry Pi4 or a Terramaster NAS has almost no impact at all.

 

I found few users that have the same issue and I was wondering if anyone has a solution for this!

 

Thanks!

Did you figure out the reason for the power increase?

The CPU remains in C2 state, that is the reason. If this has no impact in terms of power consumption with N100 or N5105-N5095, the situation is quite different with an i3.
