I'm not quite clear what you mean by the smartstrip deciding "when to turn the power on". If I am reading about this strip correctly, the power turns on to the devices when you turn the computer on, they turn off when the computer turns off. The relay method provides a delay correct? Not quite sure on this.
Hoagie_one:
with the smartstrip, it decides if there is enough current traveling through the switch outlet to then turn on the other outlets. And 99% of the time or more it works. I have heard that there can be issues with sesitivity and whatnot.
With the relay method, it always works and no delay.

Now it makes sense. Thanks.
