I checked the automatic driveway gate opener draws ~30-35W
That's why we flip the circuit breaker on only when one of the cars is not at home.

My grandma has a similar driveway gate opener which does not have its own circuit breaker, and she doesn't drive anymore. But it has to be on 24/7, because she says so
