TrickleStar TS1003 / 180SS-US-7XX, 7 Outlet Advanced Powerstrip, 2160 Joules Surge Protection, 4 Ft Cord

My setup: Vizio TV on the sensing outlet. Sound bar and Nvidia Shield on the switched outlets. I loved being able to say "Hey Google, turn on the TV" thanks to my Shield but once the newness of that wears off it's not exactly useful. The final straw was when at random it would turn the TV on, no Google Home involved it would just wake up which caused the TV and sound bar to wake up. I ended up finding out once it turned on shortly after we left the house and stayed on till we came home TEN DAYS LATER. Good thing screen burn in isn't really a thing anymore. After that I bought this and when I turn the TV off within three seconds it "unplugs" everything else saving me any annoyance and saving money. Also my Kill-A-Watt couldn't even measure how low of electricity useage this thing takes to run, compared to my TV, sound bar, and Shield which used about 50 watts when all turned "off".

Excellent power switch for a variety of applications. Very simple to use. Contains an always on, and switching outlets. Great price for the product and works like a charm!

Great product. This one is specifically great because you can set the threshold switch. I used this inside of a Mame arcade cabinet. When the computer comes on in the control outlet the green oulets automatically turn on controlling lights, audio amplifier, lcd, etc. When the computer in the control outlet is turned off, all the green outlets automatically turn off. This made my arcade cabinet feel more original. Thanks!

I have this one and the 1080 Joules. This one is not impressing me at all at this point and I’ve only had it since 9/10/2020. My tv is the control and my sound bar and sub are on the switched outlets. Yesterday I turned on the TV and sound bar/sub wouldn’t turn on, had to unplug and plug the bar back in. Worked. Just turned TV on and off x2 right now and sound bar/sub won’t come on. My threshold is set to high. Don’t know what the issue is. Oh and before I plugged it into this system, I had it in another room with a Bose sound bar... the sound bar kept turning on and off on its own, multiple times. It has not done that with the 1080. This one will probably go back.

This TrickleStar TS1003 has a 4 ft cord vs 2 ft for the similar--and more common Amazon listing--TS1104. It also absorbs more than twice as much surge energy as the TS1104. Switching works as expected with Denon AVR-S950H audio/video receiver. Had to set the switching sensitivity to the middle position to get it to turn off when AVR drops down to its standby state. Unit seems larger than need be in width and depth (by far the largest seven outlet strip I've ever encountered unless it was a strip for mounting in an equipment rack. Also, the 3x LED indicators are *very* bright--brighter than I'd desire for this application.Update: the "switched power" LED on mine stopped lighting after about two months. TrickleStar was very responsive about sending a replacement strip.On another subject, it sure would be nice if all the people who design power strips could talk with all the people who design wall wart power supplies to agree on how big a wall wart should be and which way it should orient so multiple wall warts could be used in every plug strips without blocking adjoining outlets...

This was purchased to allow my TV to turn my audio system on and off. The TV draws 39 watts in standby, 172 watts when running. This device will not turn off the slave outlet with 39 watts running through the master outlet. Yes, I tried all settings. The lack of detailed specifications in the literature makes this sort of problem inevitable. We need to know the number of watts (or amps) required to turn the slave outlets on in each of the three settings.

Easy! Just plug in the power cord for the computer into the "Control" plug and then the ancillary equipment power in the associated green plugs and set the sensitivity. Then when you turn on the computer, it senses the power demand and automatically powers up the other plugs. I have a label printer, an external DVD Drive, and my computer desk lights on these plugs. My only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that there are only 4 green plugs and when plugging in transformers they block access to adjacent plugs.
