"Power Genie" the only smart power strip in Australia? SOLVED: No it isn't.

(1/4) > >>

rabidpuppy:
Doing a search for smart power strips (that turn off devices based on a single control devices on/off status) in Australia seems to have a different result, and the only device which has this functions appears to be the Power Genie which is AUD$60.  Is this the only pre-made option available here to power on/off all devices in a cabinet?

Cheers.

BASS!:
Yeah I did some searches and was unable to find anything. I wonder if you could hack the power board, and rewire it to accept 220v? You could probably just re-mount the guts in a au strip and do a little bit of a hack. Any electrical engineers around? Andy Warne could probably think of something.

Search for SpyStyle's instructions. He shows how to make one cheap using a standard power strip and a relay for a car.

I'm a bit colourblind so don't fancy doing any proper electrical hacks.  What (if anything) are other Aussies doing for a one-button = everything on solution in cabinets?

Cheers.
