Turn off the devices, then disconnect from the power supply.

In my opinion, this is purely a gimmick without a business case, but everyone should be allowed to be happy in their own way.As with the entire topic of home building, a business case (if one is even needed) will rarely be present.
Our annual electricity consumption for three people is between 2,000 and 2,500 kWh, including washing machine, refrigerator/freezer, TV, speakers/Blu-ray/player system, desktop PC (no laptop), monitor, bathroom ventilation, cooktop with daily cooking, dishwasher, DECT phone base station, printer, coffee maker, toaster, smoothie blender, electric kettle, and a heat lamp at the changing table...
The PC sometimes runs without standby or energy-saving mode (all disabled) for 1–2 hours idle. When cooking, the ceramic cooktop stays on until the food is ready. The lights are also not turned off immediately...
In short, we are wasteful, and yet, in my opinion, the consumption is perfectly fine. I’m not interested in saving just 5 to 10 dollars a year.

I am primarily interested in the calculation regarding cost-effectiveness and potential savings. Once the result of this calculation is clear, I am no longer concerned with the implementation.
If you could save 30 euros per month, great, I would be on board. But we are actually talking about 50 cents per month...
And it’s not about saving but investing, sacrificing comfort, first recovering the initial investment costs plus interest, and then only starting around 2035 to save 50 cents per month, assuming nothing breaks down.
The proportions no longer add up. Meanwhile, the average person in Germany spends 500 euros per month on their car, including all expenses, and many households have two cars. But in the year 2035, they want to save 50 cents per month on energy costs...
