In many homes, turning off the TV or the computer means that DVD players, speakers and other "support" devices remain on and are still drawing down energy -- sometimes as much as $250 per year. Now there is a smart device that knows when the TV and computer are off and turns off the other devices for you.Mike Webb at GizMag.com reports:
"The TV TrickleSaver has current sensing circuitry that senses when a TV is off, and cuts power to any connected devices like DVD players and consoles so there is no continuing flow of standby power. Likewise, the “sister product” PC TrickleSaver connects via USB to monitor a PC’s power usage and when in standby mode or turned off, shuts down the flow of power to any printers, speakers and the like."
