Hey all,   Really loving RasPlex on my "non-Samsung smart TV". Hoping that the new version will come fast out of beta and that the wifi issues + casting will be solved.   Does anyone have an idea what the power consumption is of Rasplex in idle situation? Does Rasplex go into a deep sleep mode? How does everyone shutdown rasplex? At the moment I am just pulling the plug at night, but don't think this will be a good way in the long run :-).   Anyway, Thanks again for the work and the community ! ---

Most people on the Raspberry Pi forum agree that it uses about 2 to 3 watts in general while under load, which is less then most electronics use in sleep mode.
