 <title>PowerDevil, a Power Management Daemon</title>
 
 <para>This module is a configuration tool for managing Power Management in &plasma;. It is a configurator for the PowerDevil daemon.</para>
 
 <para>Through this module, you can define your computer's behavior in various situations, allowing you to save as much energy as possible.
 </para>
 
 <para>Powerdevil works with Solid only and it's integrated in your desktop. You won't even notice it is running, apart from notifications. Moreover, Powerdevil checks your system capabilities first, so you'll see only options available for your system in this module.
 </para>
 
 <note><para>Note that PowerDevil does not poll your system. This means that it will not waste energy while trying to save it, as some other power managers do.</para></note>
