Title: Maximum current load
Post by: DrewW on May 12, 2014, 09:30:20 AM
Has anyone seen specifications for the maximum current load that this device can switch on/off? Without this figure it is impossible to determine (before buying) if it can control anything more than a simple lamp.

Good question! I've reached out to D-Link and will get back to you when I have more information.  :-\

15 Amp 110/120v

Here is what I have back from D-Link:

UL certifies all products by a max of 12.5 Amps (which is their testing) so if you use a bit of Ohms law, with the United States 120 volts power lines, that would be:

12.5 Amp x 120 Volts = 1,500 Watts Max power!

The unit does comes equipped with a temperature sensing mechanism that will turn off all power if the internal temperature of the device reaches 65 degrees Celsius = 149 Fahrenheit

JL, thanks for digging up that figure.

Would you also know if the hardware is open sourced any way - schematics? And perhaps a hardware breakdown will tell us more of cpu, dram, I/O components.  I did find that Anandtech has already posted a gallery of W215 internals.

D-Link typically does not release anything in the way of schematics. I am not aware of any instances where D-Link open sourced hardware or firmware.
