We get squeezed like a bar rag every month by SDG&E in San Diego, so I bought this going to the ends of the earth trying to bring down triple-digit electricity bills. After reading more recent reviews here--it looks like people having problems with this device are streaming in.I wouldn't buy this--obviously it's totally unreliable and $30+ down the drain. It worked OK for a couple of months, then suddenly it wouldn't power off devices anymore no matter how I tweaked the sensitivity.
I have a PC with two monitors, two printers and assorted other peripherals. So now I shut the strip down manually using the toggle switch after the PC shuts down.Disappointing.I have an electric heater plugged into a different outlet, thought there might be some power surge issue but I have been turning off the heater prior to turning off the PC and it makes no difference. But now when I shut down the computer everything seems to shut down but, then all of the peripherals start cycling on and off, on and off. I bought this to use in my office. I have the PC plugged into the main outlet, so when I power down the PC everything else goes off. I don't think there is anything with my PC that would be causing this, so I can only conclude that the power strip isn't so smart after all. It worked great for a week.
Nice idea. Broke after less than one year. Overpriced for what it is. Didn't last very long.
The ac stript operates as advertised. No problems no adjustments necessary. Very neat. I control all my devices based upon my cpu.
Took the place of a missing switched outlet on the back of a receiver. Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
