Energenie ENER017 Master/Slave Energy Saving 6-Gang Extension

Product Information

The Kasa app lets you set schedules to turn your device on or off based on time, sunrise or sunset. You can create a timer to have something run for a set length of time (handy for a space heater) or turn something on in a set amount of time (like your electric blanket just before you sit down for dinner).

What's unique about this surge protector is that each of its AC outlet - it has four - has its own switch, which should make a difference when your next energy bill comes around. To ensure the kids' safety, each also has a safety door. And though it doesn't specify its protection level, it does offer overvoltage, overcurrent. and short-circuiting protection. LED lighting comes in a range of fittings and colours to provide the finishing touch to your energy efficient extension, and up-front costs have dropped considerably as the technology has gained in popularity. It’s also rarely safe to plug one extension lead into another, a process called “daisy-chaining” because this will significantly raise the risk of overloading the circuit. Are extension leads waterproof?It does have eight AC outlets, two on each side, and each pair has its on/off button to help save energy and help you save money on your energy bill. Plus there are three USB Type-A and one USB-C ports. The only thing is that those ports are only on one side so anyone needing access to them would have to do some sort of maneuvering, especially if there are several electronics and devices already plugged in. The Meross features two grounded, heavy duty outlets attached to a 26cm long outdoor cable that plugs into an outdoor outlet. Each Meross outlet can be controlled individually by your phone or voice, or simultaneously using the manual switch on the plug. Pros: Reliable app with good features; easy to set up Cons: Quite large; energy monitoring costs more

For the technically inclined who want to know: it’s small electronic components called Metal Oxide Varistors, or MOVs for short, which are more often used for this filtering of surges. Other types of filters are gas discharge arrestors which are often seen in antenna protectors, but most of the time, MOVs are used, often in combination with other components like capacitors. Technology and appliances have come a long way in recent times – even the biggest TVs and most feature-laden white goods come with energy efficiency measures built in, which means minimal effort on your part when it comes to managing their energy consumption. It is best to buy a surge protector from a reputable brand, not a no-name company. A well-known company not only stands behind the quality of its electronics but also provides a warranty covering the devices they connect. If you’re looking to locate a lead behind furniture in the corner of a room or just behind a media unit, this vertical extension lead is equipped with 12 outlets, which are all surge protected.
