PoE would be that standard, since it’s 48V already and can run all over the house. However, we don’t actually save anything in terms of efficiency by having everything be DC.
Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray!
deegeese@sopuli.xyz 5 months agoWe did. It’s called USB-C and my house has outlets with AC/USB-C combo.
You want another standard?

More importantly, standards do change. Many of us did the same with USB-A, now a few years later we can update to USB-C by replacing outlets cheaply.
Can you imagine having to replace both the outlets for a new connector and a house-sized converter for new power profiles? So expensive and likely turns a simple DIY project into calling an electrician
