## Description

Bits limited LCG-3MVR Smart Strip 10-outlet energy saving surge protector with auto-switching technology.

Review: Great money saving device - Saves my PC from using 50watts all of the time. Purchased two of them, both work great. UPDATE: After reading several negative reviews, I wanted to add a few things. 1. I now have 3 of these, the newest is 6 months old and they are all working great. 2. On calibration: The power usage in the on state for the control device needs to be significantly different than the off power usage for the control device to work properly. For example, a cable box that draws 40watts on and 35watts off will make a very poor control device. A computer that draw 12watts off and 100watts on will make a great control device. Consider that when choosing a control device. (Kill-a-watt is very helpful in determining this) 3. On failures: Power strips fail, often from surges. If your strip failed, contact the manufacture. It should last a year at minimum. However, it does contain a switch and and power reading circuit, so it may fail at some point. 4. Always on devices: The strip is designed for computers. You turn your computer off, the speakers and other items go off too. There are many other uses, but keep in mind that it does not work for power hungry always-on devices like a cable box, DVRs, Roku or DirecTV control box. Those devices are always on, they take several minutes to boot up when power is restored. Same goes for a large number of TVs. If your device is an always on device, you can't use it as a control device or hook it to one of the switched outlets without some frustration. That simply will not work well. Using a switched power strip on those types of devices will GREATLY increase time-to-on and in the case of a DVR, will result in missed recordings. This can be a big negative when you need to turn things on and let them boot up for 10 minutes before you watch TV. Make sure that the way you plan to use the device is how the device is designed to be used. Get a Kill-A-Watt and look at power usage when you are planning to use a power strip like this. The Kill-A-Watt is a great tool and helps in other areas as well.
Review: Did what I needed - My gaming PC is water-cooled with radiator, fans, water pump and flow meter, all external. I wanted an easy way to power on these water cooling components as soon as the PC powers on. This power strip fulfills this need easily and inexpensively. The power strip on its own, notices when there is sufficient power draw and immediately enables the switched portion of the power strip which in my situation enables the cooling system on startup with no delay. This power strip has a sensitivity adjustment but I did not need to adjust it, the power strip literally worked out of the box. A WiFi activated power strip is not a good choice for enabling an external cooling system because of the delay time. First the system has POST, and boot the OS to a point that WiFi can initialize but then the app that uses WiFi must start and communicate with power strip which in turn enables the cooling system. This can take considerable time and is to be avoided; the cooling system must start when the system first powers up and without delay to avoid overheating, it can't wait for WiFi (and what if WiFi doesn't start?) I could have built something like a relay enabled by USB voltage from a USB port but even that is a bit slow (bios still has to run far enough to enable USB). I also could have routed power from the PC main power supply through a bulkhead connector in the chassis but that is an accident waiting to happen (short circuit). One minor complaint is that the power plug for the power strip has a 45 degree plug which I greatly dislike. So I cut off the plug that came with the power strip off and installed a sensible plug and a ferrite filter as well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm unclear how to use.  Do the 6 auto switches (green) respond to whatever is plugged in to the control outlet (blue)?**
A: The Blue outlet is where you plug in the control unit (PC / TV).  The green outlets are where you plug in the devices that uou wantr to turn off or on automatically whenver the main device (pc/tv) is turned on.The red outlets are always on,  These are not controlled.Scott

**Q: I want the DISH satellite box to work as the control. When it goes into sleep mode, will it power everything else down?**
A: I'm not certain about that. I think the power strip monitors the current draw from the control outlet, and if it drops below a certain amount, it triggers the shut-down. I can only suggest that you give it a try and see if it works the way you want it to. Otherwise, you can always use a different device as the control.

**Q: Will my dvr record when using this device?**
A: depends where you plug in your DVR.  You should plug it into one of the always hot outlets so that it doesn't turn off. Otherwise no, it will power down.

**Q: When the TV is in the controlling outlet, can you use the TV's remote to turn the TV on and off? The socket it's plugged in to is still live?**
A: I agree with the first two answers. As long as the master outlet the TV is plugged into is powerd, the tv should respond to the tv remote. The slave outlets work only when the master outlet's load is drawing power, meaning the in your case when the tv is turned on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solves my TV's poor remote reception problem.
*by I***E on May 9, 2016*

I wish I knew this product existed years ago. I've had my TV ( Westinghouse LVM-42W2 42-Inch 1080p LCD Video Monitor ) and surround sound receiver (Sony STR-K995) connected to each other since 2007. My TV's remote control was always horrible to use and even when using various universal and learning remotes the TV's IR sensor was never receptive enough for the remote to reliably power it on and off. Most recently I've been using the RF remote that comes with the TiVo Roamio where the single TV Pwr button attempts to toggle the power on both the TV and receiver simultaneously. This often resulted in attempting to turn on or off the TV and receiver together and the TV wouldn't respond. This made powering on or off the system a several-minute dance of attempting to get the receiver and TV to power on and off in unison before I would get up off the couch and manually press the power button on the side of the TV. Enter this power strip. I plugged in the TV into one of the switched (green) outlets and plugged in the receiver into the control (blue) outlet. I reprogrammed my TiVo remote so that it doesn't even try to control the TV at all. Now I simply turn the receiver on and off via the remote and the TV does the same automatically. I can't express how satisfying it now is to see these components finally work in unison. While my receiver supports HDMI-CEC, both my TiVo and TV do not, meaning I had no way to for one device to control the power of the other device until now. I also plugged in the power for the subwoofer into one of the switched outlets, so hopefully that will save me on some electricity since previously the subwoofer was on 24/7, even when I wasn't watching TV. The only downsides I would point out are: 1. For my purposes there are too many green (switched) outlets and not enough red (aways on) outlets. I have my cable modem, Apple TV and TiVo in the red outlets right now, but I want to move my Slingbox into this space and I'll need to add a second power strip or multi-tap to support it. I have 4 unused green outlets on this power strip. 2. It's pretty large, and therefore is hard to hide in a small enclosed space. It's currently slightly visible sticking up behind my TiVo and receiver in my entertainment center under my TV. 3. For what this product does it's a little expensive. I bought a $20 Sony learning remote years ago that solved this same problem, although I stopped using it because I preferred the TiVo remote. TiVo's learning remote is $50, so while this solution is cheaper, I would expect it to be half the price. I didn't buy the cheaper version ( Smart Strip SCG-3M Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 7-Outlet ) of this power strip because I needed more red outlets (see #1 above).
