This is just an excellent little device that just works. Connected to your desktop PC, and it turns off all the other stuff you also have connected to it – and do not need – when the PC shuts down or are in stand-by mode. Like monitor(s), speakers, printer and network router. No more speaker hum, standby blinking lights or people hacking your wireless network. And only one click – the power button on your PC – to turn everything on again. Highly recommended!

Ethical Superstore staff review The hardest task in my house is getting the kids to turn things off. From room to room around the house I find myself turning off lights, computers and other gadgets. The Intelliplug at least helps minimize that for the computers we have. Simply plug the main power feed into the socket and then attach peripherals to the other sockets. Then whenever the computer is turned off the printer and monitor are turned off too. Genius.
**Tip** Using the Windows power saving features configure the PC to automatically turn itself off after 30mins of inactivity. Then the computer will go off once the kids leave the room courtesy of Microsoft, and then 5 seconds later the screen and printer are turned off courtesy of the Intelliplug. Double genius.

A: Three plugs can be attached. Two of these may be extensions so more than three devices may be connected so long as the maximum power does not exceed 13 amps. John.

Q: Will this work for a TV? I.e. can I make a TV the main device, and then when the TV is on standby, it will switch off the video / DVD / etc?
A: We don't recommend that this is used with televisions. For that purpose, we recommend the Intellipanel for Televisions: (http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/oneclick/intellipanel-for-televisions/).

Helen asked this question on 10th Feb 2008
Q: my intelliplug works well in turning off peripherals. But even when everything is turned off there is still 11w per hour being used. How is this? Does the transformer in the computer override the intelliplug?
A: The intelliplug has a lowest standby power of 0.4 of a watt saving an average 35 watts per hour depending on the number of connected peripherals.

anonymous asked this question on 16th Oct 2008
Q: How long does it take to switch into power off mode and how do you know it is off??
A: Reaction time is approximately 5 seconds.
The computer will be permanently powered. Modern computers use a tiny amount of electricity in standby (normally less than 1 watt). Collectively, however, peripheral equipment is responsible for lots of wasted electricity. Peripheral equipment such as the monitor, printer, speakers, scanner, and games consoles have very poor power management and are often left switched on when the computer is no longer in use.
So the challenge was to identify the correct threshold between the on and off level for the wide range of desktop computers on the market, ensuring that peripheral equipment is only switched off when the computer is not in use or in standby. This has been achieved by Intelliplug's patented Auto-Calibration technology which automatically switches off peripheral equipment when the computer is no longer in use.

Roddy asked this question on 14th May 2008
Q: Can I just clarify - could I use this device with my TV, video and DVD player, using the TV as a master? The blurb suggests its exclusively for PCs but the comments from customers suggest a broader application.
A: It's not ideal for this type of application - of course if the TV were used in the master, it would power down the dvd player and video - but it would mean that the video wouldn't have power to record timer set programmes when the TV wasn't switched on. John.

John asked this question on 27th Mar 2008
Q: can this device be used on TV / VCR / sky box / DVD player/recorder?
A: This item is designed for use with a computer, so whilst usage with a television set up could be possible, we would not be in a position to recommend this. For this purpose we would recommend the Intellipanel for Televisions, which can be found here: http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/oneclick/intellipanel-for-televisions/ Hope this helps.
