One of the available serial ports in the Classic has +9v and 0V on two of its pins.
See the Classic online manual and details are in one of the Appendicies.
You could use this to power the bridge 24/7, there is same current capability as the AUX port.

In this case, I *wanted* it to shut off at night. No sense keeping it running to report zero power.

As it turns out, the Vonets bridge wasn't so great. The connection was intermittent, and when I changed to a new router, it didn't work at all.
