Is turning off the power on technical devices harmful?

Today, the question arises as to whether it is detrimental to technical equipment to completely drain the electricity (several times).

I have a multiple socket with an on / off switch. My Wii, my Blu-Ray player and my TV are connected to it. But as I sleep disturbs the light from the TV constantly (πŸ˜…), I turn off the switch of the multiple socket. Sometimes I do not need the three things net, which is why the plug is switched off for a week or more. But sometimes that happens every day (but not several times a day).

P.S. When switching off, the devices are already off (So normally off)

That's exactly how you should do it. This conserves standby power and protects the devices rather than harming them.

Do that without problems for many years.

If you have the devices before, for example With the remote control turned off or drove down, that's no problem.

My TV is displaying a message if it is currently doing an update that you should not interrupt the power during the update; he can't be switched off with the remote control. This should be followed, because according to the user manual, the software may crash and then you may need to have the device repaired by a specialist.

Meanwhile, the modern devices are very economical in standby consumption and by COMPLETE shutdown you will certainly lost even a small piece of comfort.
But you can philosophize about that… I'm rather the Sparar and tell myself that even a small consumer is too much, as long as I do not need it. Therefore, I say "SHUT OFF" The devices do not hurt, on the contrary, if they take noticeable influence, then more positive.

In the digital age, some, especially internet-connected devices, need quite a long time to initialize, connect to the network, power up, etc. Pp. But that should not stop you from disconnecting your devices from the power, if you do not need them for several days. However, if you use them several times a day, I would not do without the Kompfort and just disconnect them from the power overnight so that the StandBy lights do not disturb you.

If at all, turn off the TV at night. I'm disturbed by the light
