I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.

This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

    Yeah I think many of us missed that you’re proposing a full power replacement circuit, rather than USB power everywhere

    One of the things you’re missing about USB and would likely lose here is that it’s “smart”. Both sides negotiate an acceptable power profile. If you only have one converter for the house I don’t think you could easily deliver many different power profiles to many points

      You wouldn’t have to.

      Every device instead of having an expensive PD communication device in it, would have an even cheaper PWM DC Step-down.

      No communication needed.

      Each device would just draw what it needs to.
