If the TV or PC is on, then peripheral devices are powered on. If the TV or PC is switched off, then the peripheral devices are automatically switched off, thereby reducing power waste. Review: Perfect solution for your PC, no more speaker buzz or monitor randomly turning on and off. - I had a similar master-slave style power strip for my PC that would cut power to half the other outlets when the master plug stops drawing power, but it was huge and ancient and not as reliable as I would have liked, and was surely no longer capable of proper surge protection anymore. This is exactly what I had been looking for and worked even better with the adjustable power cut-off. No more speaker interference/buzz while my PC is off, no more random monitors briefly turning themselves on. If the PC is off, they stay off, when the PC boots up the speakers and monitors turn right on behind it which is exactly what I wanted. The total number and spacing of the outlets is a little lackluster, I hate to use additional splitters and extensions with a power strip but I did the math and it's all well within the wattage the strip can handle. I wish there were more options from this manufacturer, but I'm still very glad I was finally able to find a replacement for what I wanted that works so well, so I am very happy with this product anyways. Review: An excellent power switching product that works nicely when you understand it. - This device switches power on and off for devices plugged into the "AUTOMATICALY SWITCHED OUTLETS" based on how much power is being drawn through the "CONTROL OUTLET" while also providing a couple "ALWAYS ON OUTLETS" as a nice convenience. For my unit with it's sensitivity adjustment turned fully counterclockwise "-" I was able to switch devices on and off with a control load of about 7 Watts minimum and not less. The LED lamp illuminating my pictures, for instance, only uses 3 Watts so it would not be able to act as a master controlling device for anything being switched. Only devices that use 7 Watts or more can be used to control things. I found the limit by hooking up a tunable soldering iron and started turning the dial, finding that threshold. Below 7 Watts and it gets ignored, above and it can turn the switched devices on and off. (15W - 60W is the adjustable range in the specs) The trick is get that threshold solidly between the idle wattage of the control device and it's active wattage and you are golden. :-) Other users seem to have reported flashing on and off which would be very possible if the sensitivity adjustment wattage is close to the actual power of the controlling device while it is on and if the switched devices were using sufficient power to effect the voltage (and power) of all other devices in that circuit. Control device comes on....Switched devices come on and sag the voltage a bit...power through the control device dips (because of the voltage dips) below the switching threshold and the switched device is turned off. The voltage dip ends and the power going through the control port returns to normal, above the threshold and then the switched devices are turned back on again....over and over again. This "problem" (or amusement :-) ) should be manageable by adjusting that sensitivity control...why it's there in the first place :-) Smart Strip is the first (and only) manufacturer that I discovered to include a user accessible sensitivity adjustment to it's power-saver power strips. I plan to buy more as need arrives since the features and quality I need seem to be nicely present. ## Features - 7 OUTLETS TOTAL—1 Control outlet, 2 Always On outlets and 4 Switched outlets. - ON-OFF THRESHOLD—User adjustable +/- sensitivity screw allows for greater device compatibility. - RIGHT ANGLE FLAT PLUG with 4FT CORD—This less obtrusive plug is ideal for outlets that are behind furniture or other obstacles. - RESET BUTTON— Restores the circuit protector after a power outage or surge. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0058DHO1W | | Amperage | 15 A | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,235 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #167 in Surge Protectors | | Brand | Bits Limited | | Color | Blue,Green,Red | | Compatible Devices | Outlet | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 883 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Polycarbonate | | Item Dimensions L x W | 14"L x 4.5"W | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | BITS LIMITED | | Maximum Current | 15 A | | Mfr Part Number | ECG-7MVR | | Model Number | ECG-7MVR | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Outlets | 7 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Ports | 7 | | Other Special Features of the Product | On And Off Switch, Surge Protection | | Plug Type | Type B | | Power Plug Type | Type B - 3 pin (North American) | | Product Dimensions | 14"L x 4.5"W | | Shape | Rectangle | | Special Feature | On And Off Switch, Surge Protection | | Surge Protection Rating | 1400 Joules | | Total Power Outlets | 7 | | Total Usb Ports | 7 | | UPC | 855883000063 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 125 volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bits Limited - **Color:** Blue,Green,Red - **Special Feature:** On And Off Switch, Surge Protection - **Total Power Outlets:** 7 - **Voltage:** 125 volts ## Images ![Smart Strip ECG-7MVR Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 7 Outlet - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Dv+-M67tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect solution for your PC, no more speaker buzz or monitor randomly turning on and off. *by M***S on August 10, 2026* I had a similar master-slave style power strip for my PC that would cut power to half the other outlets when the master plug stops drawing power, but it was huge and ancient and not as reliable as I would have liked, and was surely no longer capable of proper surge protection anymore.

I will say that the shutdown is not gentle; its abrupt so if you have speakers attached through amplifiers, be sure to keep the levels low when you walk away; you can blow a speaker. However, with the levels set it drops the power, and cuts back on reliably. There is a slight delay in power on that can be annoying; however it does everything it says on the box. I'll give it 4/5 stars, if they could add a soft shutdown feature or some way to buffer power and let it bleed out slowly rather than instnaly; maybe add a few capacitors or something. Anyways, great product; will save a good bit of power, adds a reassurance I'm not just running speakers all of the time. connected the display to the contorlport, the streamer and the dac to the always on and the amps to the "smart" ports. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smart Strip ECG-7MVR Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 7 Outlet - DC 12V PWM PC CPU Fan Temperature Control Speed Controller CPU Alarm Module - Dayton Audio BST-1 High Power Pro Tactile Bass Shaker 50 Watts RMS, 4 Ohms Impedance - Turn Any Surface into a Speaker System - Generates Subwoofer Lows --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/54715437-smart-strip-ecg-7mvr-energy-saving-surge-protector-with-autoswitching](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/54715437-smart-strip-ecg-7mvr-energy-saving-surge-protector-with-autoswitching) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
