Start cabinet with single power button, idea help needed (Schematic included)
TheShanMan:
You're saying that a momentary pushbutton is too much of a giveaway? That's the only exposed part of my solution. My power strip is inside the cabinet.
kelroy:
are you using a smartstrip? the power is not completely cut which is some cases could be bad. with this the main power is completely cut. explane how your setup works if you dont mind.
kelroy:
sorry dont mean to criticize im just curious is all i have not looked much into a smartstrip
TheShanMan:
Didn't take it as criticism at all.
Not sure the brand. I bought it about 9 years ago so I would guess it's not the same brand that people typically get nowadays. What do you mean "the power is not completely cut"? One outlet in the strip controls power to all other outlets. If there is no (or miniscule) current draw by the control outlet, all other outlets are essentially shut off. I have seen no signs of this ever NOT working perfectly, and I've had it in my cab for 9 years.
Again, I'm not sure I have the same brand people typically get these days, but I'm sure if you searched on "power strip" you could get plenty of info on brand and how well it works.
kelroy:
wow could you look at the brand on the strip or find a comparable link?
