 Smart Strip LCG4 November 13, 2009

The smart strip is great. I use it for my tv and every devices that connect to the tv. One bad thing is that my HDTV has a red LED light on when the tv is off. So I know it is still using electricity. I set my tv as the master plug, and when the tv goes off the other devices goes off. But my Tv is still draining energy even though the tv is off. So I need to go turn of the power switch on the smart strip. Over all this smart strip is great. Before buying you might want to make sure if you are in the same situation as me. Or you can plug in another devices to control the tv, like a lamp. If you watch tv with your lamp on, you can put your lamp as the master. Hope this is helpful for someone.

Easy to set up. Works well with a computer and all of the electronics that go with it.
best idea in power since power came to to the masses October 23, 2009

these smart strips just plain work. they are brilliantly conceived and the quality and functionality is great. some outlets (plugs) are always hot and some are hot only when you turn on the main device connected to a special plug; they are conditional or "smart". this is brilliant since i can not use my XBOX unless my TV is on; one gadget is dependent on the other. there is a perfect mix of always-on and "smart" plugs. i have yet to find myself without enough of either plug in a set up. i have 2 versions of these now; one for the TV system and one for my PC system. besides the power savings it's convenient to have the "smart" plugs connected to peripherals to save time when starting up. my light, printer and other items turn on when i fire up the PC. My Xbox is off until i turn on the TV and then it's ready to go.
in case you do not know already Benjamin Franklin did not just harness electricity, he was a conservationist and would be so fond of this invention. it is pricey but it is such a good idea that beyond the energy savings (think oil dependence not just cost) this makes your life better through efficiency. Suggestion: check out what S3 standby is (for your PC) on the internet and then see if your PC can be set up to use it. it's basically an instant on from something similar to sleep mode using almost no power. i use mine with keyboard activation so it takes about 4 seconds to launch everything on my desk with a press of any key and be productive or online.
Note; this does require a sufficient amount of power to go through the main outlet to activate the smart plugs. i tried it on my 17 inch iMac and even with the sensitivity adjuster (brilliant feature) i could not make it sense enough power change to activate and shut down the smart plugs. i suppose that is good for the iMac not drawing much power but bad in that i can not automatically shut down those peripherals like the sound system i have attached to it, which does draw a lot of power.

Once you figure out where to plug things in, you realize how much it can save you in electric bills. Good investment.

Alright this is an expensive device. The way it's set up, you have a single device control a bunch of other devices except those you want to run independently. So let's say you have a TV which you set up as the controlling device: when it goes off the other devices you set up to be controlled by it go off as well. If you have a VCR you can set that to be on independently of the other devices which you most likely want as it needs to be on 24/7 to keep time and record tv shows. So that's reasonably solid. The problem is that the strip doesn't allow for large or odd shaped plugs which can block other plugs. For a strip that's over $30 it should be designed so that doesn't happen. Also you could accomplish the same thing with two plain strips: one which you turn on when you need it and one you leave on all the time. That would very likely save you $20. If the automatic switching is worth that much to you then buy it, if not.....
