Cheap solutions to the family device chaos. Bought a desktop file holder and a 6 port usb-c and 2 usb-a 200w charging dock.
I put little color tabs to mark each type and they prevent the cords from falling through the zip tie loop. Can output to 100w max per port for the ones marked red.
Folder slots are for tablets and the shelf for phones. I’ll put adapters in the accessories shelf. Zip tied all the cords up nicely, left a little loose in case someone needs to pull the cord out a little farther. But I made sure not far enough they lay shit on the counter again.
Around $100 including the dock. Better than those cheap plastic walled fire hazards on Amazon.
That’s neat. Very neat.
That’s a lot of tablets.
I would have needed a place to put e-bike batteries there. Cool nonetheless!
Knowing Lemmy I wasn’t sure what I was gonna find with “docking” in the title.
That said, I like the innovation with this.
Thanks, no one here was impressed. I hide all the other chargers so they have to comply.
Pros: Less chaos
You know where your phone is
Cons:
not enough chargers there are open slots in there
No general battery charger get the IKEA one to charge small electronic batteries
Where slow charge where fast charge
Not really a lot of space to charge other stuff then phones or tablets
Where changeable powerbanks
This was enough for my very specific situation and tastes. Trust me, I know what I need. You’ll need something different.
I mean yeah but …
I don’t know I would engineer more there to help with family satisfaction
Had to check the sub before clicking on “docking station”
Put universal remote on docking station
I was very close to buying the fancy 300w smart charger that gave me usage data and the ability to throttle everyone’s phone but mine.
Nice work!
Pretty neat solution, I like it!
