What power adapters are people using?

Only thing I had available to me that the comet seemed to like is this 12w Apple USB A power adapter. Looks like its output is 5.2v - 2.4A.
Is this okay?

Yes,It's OK to use apple 12W adapter.

Thanks Alex!

I used a GaN but I suppose some may not correctly adjust.

You means don't work?

GaN adapter model I have did work. I have had issues using it with other devices. They are supposed to adjust.

Got it. They may need to add a PD detect circule on the board, to make the devices work.

I haven't studied how these GaN chargers adjust voltage. Guess I will later.

Note that the 5V, 2A it says on the case is overstating the power consumption. I power the Comet and a TP-Link client for WiFi (making the Comet wireless) from a USB 2 port.

Actual current required is not more than around 250 mA for the Comet, i.e. around 1/8 of that 2A…

Comet has very low power consumption under normal circumstances, but in some rare cases, it may require a current exceeding 1A. Although this time is very short, in order to ensure stable operation of the device, we recommend the adapter is 5V/2A
