Do you leave your kit powered on all the time?

    Hi guys

    I am really enjoying this thread. As I mentioned in a previous thread up until recently I have been using Xiaomi kit. That was until I bought a dot on adverts. Since buying it I have invested in Hue lights, Netatmo thermostat and TP plugs.

    While using the Mi Home kit I only switched it on in an ad hoc way. I did not leave it on all the time. Do you guys leave your kit, wifi, dot etc all the time? Have you noticed any cost implications e.g. energy costs? Does the benefit outweigh the costs?

    I am assuming that I will need to keep wifi on all the time and use the tp plugs gor other electrical devices?

    When a hue bulb is off via the app or alexa I am assuming that it is not costing anywhere near as mucj as when it
