hi out there

I have added a chromecast audio as "tape"- and want this to be turned/powered when I turn on the 5500 -ideally would be when I activate "tape" but I can live with that it turns on when I turn on the 5500

It is powered by a USB cabel

Where would you suggest that I pull out the power for this on the 5500?

A master slave portable socket outlet might be another approach....

Hmm please tryk to Explain this a bit more in detail - I intended just to pullout 5v somewhere from the 5500 which could supply enough power when turned on but if a more flexible solution could be implemented?

I agree with Kallasr - a "strømspare-stikdåse" would do the trick. The 5500 would be master and the chromecast would be slave and turn on when the 5500 starts using power.

Why do you want it to turn on and off? It is a device that is supposed to be in at all times.

What I do is that I have a audio feed going to the chromecast at all times, and simply turn my audio master on and off.
