[Feature request] Mosfet to disconnect leds when off

[DotNetDann]

Long strings can actualy use quite a lot of power when they are off (most of the time)
Any chance that you can add a setting to toggle a pin when the LED's are off so a mosfet could be added to disable power to the string?

There is a relay pin option, you can use it for this purpose. Btw it is easier to cut power on 230V side(power supply side) which is much lower current than strip's current.

In your case (shared supply), you can use standard 16A 5V relay instead of mosfet.
