Smart Strip just stopped working
<< < (2/4) > >>
krick:
one of two things...

1) cheap dimmer is causing interference that is somehow triggering the SmartStrip.

2) somebody wired the dimmer/light/outlet incorrectly.


I'd guess that it's #1.  My friend has a recording studio.  He had to remove all his dimmer units and replace them with really expensive dimmer units because normal dimmers were creating serious interference that was being picked up in the amps and other equipment.

try a different outlet

Yes of course I could try another outlet, but I like the location =)

anyways, I'm going to ponder purchasing another dimmer switch.  I assume dimmer switches are easy to install.
Hoagie_one:
i mean try a different outlet to be sure your smart strip isnt broke
currygoat11:
i'm pretty sure it works, since when the dimmer switch is set low, and the room lights are not on, the power strip will switch off the switched outlets properly.

however when the room lights are on,  the switched outlets will remain hot.
