Noob wiring question (power)
PL1:
There are threads like this one that show how to make your own smart strip using a relay.
You could use an arcade pushbutton to apply power to the relay.

I've seen that thread before, it is pretty cool!
It would be awesome to be able to make one of those but I'm afraid it is beyond my (limited) electrical skills.

Just curious, VoltaTom, but where did you find that three-outlet power strip? I've been looking for something similar, but can only find four-outlet types.

I purchased that stellar piece of equipment from the dollar store. Dollarama here in Canada. Cost me $2 - which is why I went ahead and cut it up to check it out.

Ah ha. Thanks. Will have to poke around the 'ole Dollar Tree/Store/Family then. Harbor Freight only had the a-four-mentioned strip. :lol
