Purchased the Smart Strip about 6 weeks ago and it does everything that it says it will do. It shuts down all the peripheral items that are plugged into the Smart Strip LCG4 every time I shut down my computer. Makes life and saving energy just a little easier. from Amazon.com In my case, when it is fully active the ReadyNAS NV+ consumes between 50-60 watts and when the drives are spun down it consumes about 25-30 watts. The Smart Strip wasn't sensitive enough to recognize that about 25 watts was not "sleep" mode. In reviewing the BITS Limited web site, it appears there are older versions of the Smart Strip that have trouble with some newer equipment and require a "3rd Generation" strip. It's possible Amazon is selling the older strips or I got a defective unit; regardless, I returned it. from Amazon.com Not so smart. Update - January, 2008. My review was based on a *discontinued*, according to BITS LTD, model shipped by Amazon in December, 2008. I purchased a recent model directly from BITS LTD and it works fine with a new MacBook Pro laptop and acceptably (sensitivity control needs to be set very precisely) with a 5-year old Powerbook (GHz Ethernet). from Amazon.com great product, i recommend this for every home theater, computer desk, and other places where accessories stay powered up when not being used. from Amazon.com it eliminates the 'mistake' of leaving appliances/computers/entertainment centers "on". from Amazon.com i did not have to do any adjustments and it controls all of my computer peripherals beautifully. from Amazon.com it took several days of making adjustments each time we turned our computer on and off before it worked properly. from Amazon.com i use it for my home office computer workstation: from Amazon.com it shuts down all the peripheral items that are plugged into the smart strip lcg4 every time i shut down my computer. from Amazon.com turn on the primarily appliance, for example, a computer and a dependent scanner, printer or other peripherals while still providing power to things that do not use phantom power like a desk lamp. from Amazon.com
