Save on your electrical usage with the TS1118 Advanced PowerStrip. Simply connect a television (or computer) to the control outlet. Connect the accessory devices to the energy saving outlets. When the TS1118 senses the control device is on, the energy saving outlets have power and the accessory devices are available for use. When the TS1118 senses the control device is off, the energy saving outlets turn off - eliminating the standby power draw of those accessory devices.
