13A socket with USB charger

[pc1966]

Just wondering what folks think about in terms of 13A sockets with built-in USB charges, what are the good/bad/ugly of choices?

I could do with one for my parent's use (to avoid them losing a plug-in charger) but ideally would like one that goes off / isolated when not in use or if the related socket was switched off.

Don’t know any that turn off with a switch… I thought it only powers on when a usb plug is inserted.

Don’t know about reliability. I’ve not come across any failing yet.

The ones I have use 2 different socket standards…. But I can’t remember the make now.

I recall MK offering a shuttered grid module that was isolated when the shutter was closed.

Edit: Seems to be this dual USB euro module, but definitely zero consumption on standby.
