"I like the Smart Strip quite well. It took a bit to get the hang of what loads were big enough to trigger the switching; most small appliances (e.g., fans) don't draw quite enough power, even when you adjust the sensitivity of the strip (yes, you can do that - there's a small control on the side that lets you make the strip more or less sensitive).
We finally settled on an arrangement with the computer (an older iMac) as master, the printer, external speakers, and the wireless repeater all on switched outlets, and the lamp on an unswitched one. This way, when the computer goes to sleep, it turns off all the peripherals automatically, but we still have the light on to see.
It's a great way to automate this kind of setup. Highly recommended. I'm picking up a second one to control the TV etc. in the living room."
