I have 5 of these little beasties, brand new, that are going to be dumped unless someone wants to pick them up from just off Lincoln Road (flexible timing).  Or I'll post them all nationwide for $20.

I was using a different brand to switch off a monitor and printer when the computer went to sleep, but that one died and I had a hard time finding a replacement.... and felt I was lucky to find these at such a good price and grabbed a handful.  But now I see why they were so cheap.....

They have an IR sensor on a 1m cord.  ANY signal from an IR remote will wake up the power board and switch on the slave sockets.  Sounds pretty good, right?

They have a nifty power-off feature too....  if they don't see an IR signal for an hour, the IR receiver had an LED that flashes rapidly for 3 minutes as a warning.  If you don't zap it (or press the handy button on the IR receiver), the slave sockets get turned off.  If you were streaming Netflix from your Smart TV, your sound bar might turn off....  no big deal, just zap it.  Ifg you were watching a blu-ray movie and your player gets switched off, watch the WAF hit the floor in an instant.

For my purpose, this is no jolly good.  :(
