Auto switching socket
Posted: May 16th, 2021, 12:37 pm
You used to be able to get devices which switched printers/screens etc ON when the PC was powered up.
I want the opposite.
I want a device which will supply power to a socket, but will switch the first socket OFF when power is drawn from a second socket. Is there such a thing? My googling skills have failed to find it.
It’s for a summerhouse which has a single 13A supply, a 2kw heater and a 3kw kettle. I’d like the heater to automatically switch off when the kettle is switched on. I guess it could be done with a power diverter switch, but does anyone know of a device which will do it automatically?
