A Power Switch is a Utility that is used to control the flow of electricity between a section of Electrical Cable and a Power Station, Capacitor, or another section of Electrical Cable. A Power Switch can be in one of two states: On or Off. When On, it functions as an Electrical Cable, allowing electricity to flow through. When Off, it prevents electricity from flowing through.
A Power Switch can also connect to other Wired objects - any Logic Object -, such as a Door Servo. And can be part of a Logic Circuit.
Usage Examples[]
They are generally used to cut the power down of an area where something dangerous could occur, I.E. the kitchen: fire can be prevented if power is down during a riot.
Or it can be connected to a Door Timer to control the power supply of Phone Taps, so that they can be online only during Yard hours.[1]
There is currently a bug relating to connecting a power switch to a Logic Circuit - the Power Switch will always send an On signal regardless of state. As a workaround, connect the Power Switch first to a Logic Bridge, and then to the Logic Circuit.
Requires[]
The Power Switch can be placed in any location that is not already occupied by another object or wall.
