I have an older home and while the workshop is grounded the house, apparently, is not. So, funny enough, part of the safety feature of this strip is it shows when it is both Protected, and Grounded. Both the Protected and Grounded lights must be on otherwise it does not allow power to go through. Let's be honest here, that's a pretty cool feature even if it is a bit annoying. So, while I cannot use this strip at the moment, at least I know my electronics didn't fry because of some false sense of security that the power strip would handle any and all surges.
The instructions are clear and easy, explaining what Control, Always On, and Automatically Switch outlets are best for which electronics. The right angle plug sits flush against the wall, so it's out of the way. You can even mount the strip on the wall, or even on a desk, so it's not sitting on the floor.
All in all I'm fairly impressed with this smart strip, even though I'm unable to use it - and I don't think I've ever said that about anything before. So, if your house, office, workshop, etc. is grounded, this is the smart strip surge protector for you. As soon as I get the house grounded to the workshop, or on its own, I'll be buying a few more of these to help protect the electronics that seem to have taken over my home.
They are great for home audio/video setups because you can turn on multiple pieces of equipment automatically simply by turning on whatever is in the main control outlet (via that item's remote or panel button).
I also really like that this design is mostly black. I wish some of the other products also came in black.
The only downside of this particular strip is that it doesn't have an on/off switch. But in my particular use, it's no necessary.
Works more reliably than HDMI/CEC for power on/off, and is less hassle than 12v trigger cables, which a lot of products don't even support.
TL;DR turn one thing on, and the rest come one automatically. Saves energy and is super convenient.
Other users seem to have reported flashing on and off which would be very possible if the sensitivity adjustment wattage is close to the actual power of the controlling device while it is on and if the switched devices were using sufficient power to effect the voltage (and power) of all other devices in that circuit. Control device comes on....Switched devices come on and sag the voltage a bit...power through the control device dips (because of the voltage dips) below the switching threshold and the switched device is turned off. The voltage dip ends and the power going through the control port returns to normal, above the threshold and then the switched devices are turned back on again....over and over again. This "problem" (or amusement :-) ) should be manageable by adjusting that sensitivity control...why it's there in the first place :-)
Smart Strip is the first (and only) manufacturer that I discovered to include a user accessible sensitivity adjustment to it's power-saver power strips. I plan to buy more as need arrives since the features and quality I need seem to be nicely present.
