That is right, I have a Bellini smartstrip and there is no sensitivity adjustment. You'd be best off going with the smartstrip with sensitivity or the USB one |

You need to get your computer to drop the 5v on the usb ports when you shut it off. The draw of your mouse and keyboard and any other devices connected to USP is what is keeping the smartstrip on. you need to research your motherboard. I have had to change this on two pinball simulators. The first was just a bios setting the second was an actual jumper on the motherboard. I think you look for somethin called standby mode and make sure it is S3 instead of the default S1 if it is in bios. Otherwise, you need your motherboard manual to find the jumper. |

Thanks for all the help guys. What I ended up doing was just going to walmart and seeing what other smart strips they had. I found a philips one there that showed that it was made for PC's on the back. So for 20 bucks I figured I'd give it a try and as soon as I hooked it up it worked. I actually like this strip a little better than the other one I had anyway. As long as this ones keeps working like it is right now I shouldn't need anymore help with this thread. |

If the phillips one doesn't work out, see my Smart Power Strip thread I made not too long ago. Ecostrip unit is triggered via usb. |
