Do Surge Protectors Need A Shut Off Switch

It works great. I love surge protectors.

DOES EXACTLY WHAT I NEED IT TO DO.

Have used the APC brand of surge protectors for many years and have always been satisfied with them.

On/Off switch - Automatically goes off when closing down computer and you can use it to charge something.

so nice to get rid of 3 low life surge protectors and have just one that I can trust

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried other surge protectors before and this was the first one that did everything it said it would do!

This is a review of a free product received from TP-LINK for testing and feedback as part of their review program. I replaced a standard manual wall switch with the HS200 Smart Switch. So now my Living Room Chandelier is connected by Wi-Fi to the Internet and can be remotely controlled using my Smartphone or Tablet from anywhere in the world. I had a single switch wall box which turned a large decorative Living Room Chandelier On/Off. I replaced that manual switch with the HS200 Smart Switch. Since the Chandelier is visible to the street, through a window, I reasoned that having it controlled by a Smart Switch could help deter burglars. I had no problems installing the HS200. My existing single switch wall box had a Neutral Line and I used the plastic HS200 Switch Plate. As for manual operation, a gentle tap on the large rectangular button turns the HS200 On or Off. It's a momentary switch. Very little movement is needed to toggle between On and Off. An internal glowing circle of light makes it easy to locate the Smart Switch in a dark room. Below the main HS200 On/Off switch are two small rectangular buttons. RESET for an App or Factory Reset. RESTART to reboot. The HS200 works with Kasa, a free Android and iOS app. Kasa on your Smartphone or Tablet can turn the Smart Switch On/Off locally and remotely. Voice commands work on Amazon Alexa devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Tap). With Alexa, multiple TP-LINK Smart Switches and Plugs can be grouped under one name. HS200 Wi-Fi operates on the 2.4GHz band. That gives it a good Wi-Fi range and makes it compatible with all routers. If the 5GHz band had been used, the speed increase would have been inconsequential, but the range would have been less and older routers wouldn't have been accommodated. I've been using TP-LINK HS100 and HS110 Smart Plugs to automate my home for several months. They have worked great. My Smart Plugs control a fan, desk lamp, air conditioner, and TP-LINK NC250 Security Camera.

If your computer is not loaded with USB ports, here's your solution. An On/Off switch for each port.

Wow...quality, a great price, and actually in stock! This was just what I was looking for. I've been using consumer surge protectors with my DJ set up for years. I've debated upgrading to a more professional grade power supply for some time now, and I finally pulled the trigger. I'm glad I did too. The 15 foot wall plug is just perfect. I no longer have to add an extension cable to the end on my surge, having it all integrated. And the metal casing is solid and made of very durable materials. I just don't know why I didn't make this purchase sooner.

These single outlet surge protectors are great for peace of mind to know you did the right thing for your equipment.
