About this tag
The solid state relay tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about using solid state relays to control power to external devices based on computer sleep states. In one thread, a user describes tapping USB power to drive a solid state relay that controls a sound system, aiming to shut down peripherals automatically when a Surface Pro enters sleep mode. This tag is relevant for users seeking hardware-level power management solutions for Windows devices, particularly when software settings are insufficient. Topics include USB power behavior during sleep, relay wiring, and integrating relays with Windows power states.
