Thank you for your quick answer. It is good to know but no solution for me.
I search for a climate friendly solution. I want to save Energy for a better climate. To use a 16 Port Switch when you only need 6 Ports, is also not climate friendly.
Please add this feature, it is a small thing to do in your SW but many or your users can save Energy.
And do not forget your competitors do not sleep. I found a 8+2port switch with time scheduled POE on/off function, but it was a switch witch can comntroled via cloud, witch is also not useable for me.
Greetings Claus
A 16-port PoE switch does not mean you will get a power consumption of 16 ports. It depends on how many PoE you get connected to the PoE switch.
A simple switch when in idle state, compared to 8 and 16, would be around less than 10 watts if PoE is not involved. Even less, may be 2-3 watts more on 16-port.
And the product itself supports auto power saving.
We have products that can work with the remote control like the Omada Controller which can be hosted on the cloud as well and can do remote control.
You can consider a different model, the SG2000 series. For example, SG2008P. Price would be a little bit higher, unlike the TL-SG series switch. And you have more control and functions over the device.
I do not guarantee that any feature discussed will definitely be implemented. I am here to inform you about the current situation and possible solution. If the mentioned products cannot meet your expectations, you may compare different products and choose the one that fits your environment.
