But what if you just want auto-magic power saving, no programming or smart app required?
You need one of these power strips.
It really doesn’t get much simpler than that, but there’s no automation of any sort.
If you forget to turn the strip off, the various electronics with theirphantom loadskeep on wasting power.
Enter the power-sensing power strip.
Power-sensing power strips have been around for decades but remain relatively unknown.
This clever power strip is smart in an old fashioned way. It can sense when the main device is turned off, like a computer, and will shut attached devices like printers or monitor automatically.
The premise is very simple and very clever.
One outlet on the strip is the “control” outlet, and you plug in the primary machine.
Some or all of the other outlets on the strip are automatically controlled by the primary equipment outlet.
This colorful power strip includes the standard Smart Strip features plus integrated safety covers and an increased joule-rating for enhanced surge protection.
If the primary rig is on, the other outlets supply power.
The other outlets are turned off if no load is sensed on the primary machine outlet.
What does that look like in practice?
This clever power strip is smart in an old fashioned way.
Whatever model you choose, however, they’re a perfect (and auto-magic!)
