My new power center with individual on/off switches

[Jim Harrison]

This would be perfect if they made something with more outlets on it I suppose you could always buy two though...

I've got Alexa and Hues lights and some WeMo switches in the house - love using the internet of things! I might pick up a couple of them.

This also seems like a good option 6 outlets , 2 constant and 4 controllable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZYLSYIA?ref=emc_b_5_i

I like that one quite a lot. I will pick it up and report back after I've used it a bit.

Probably going to pick this up as well. Only think i need now is a way to monitor temperate.

I'm on the fence, currently. Do I want to snag this and run everything through it or do I want to pick up a reefkeeper lite which comes with a temperature probe?

So after using this for a month would you recommend it?

Yes, absolutely. I finally have it mounted and it's so easy to just push a button to turn an item on or off

I've been looking at this as it covers both my multi outlet issue and battery back up.

But is there away to switch those on and off on demand? I don't think there is.

Ah you have a great point. Back to the drawing board I go lol

I use this on my tanks. True that it doesn't give you the individual off/on but it does give you extra plugins on a backup battery. If you wanted to you could run the other power strip into this one and have individual off/on while it's connected to the backup battery dealo. Me personally I like the individual deal but it's not a deal breaker for me. I just run a power strip off of the backup and unplug them as needed.

Cool. Bought the last one!

How are you liking it?

Yup

Thanks bro

I just wish there was a way to run one of those in conjunction with an apex. I know you can do toggle switches and the apex break out box, just not sure I’m smart enough to figure out the coding. Be nice to be able to flip a switch instead have to get on the phone or display to do it.

Yup

I use the same one.

cool. Bookmarking. Wish I'd found that before what I bought. I found power strips with individual switches and a power strip that rotates plugs. Will mount in electrical side of sump. Looking also for a battery back up.

It just came in today! I bought a surge protector power center that has an on off switch for each individual outlet. It can be mounted in the cabinet or sit along the side. I'm excited to get it home and hooked up. Now I can turn off individual components instead of unplugging the whole power strip from the wall when doing my water changes

Hey there... Now that you've had this unit for a while, how did it work out ? Do you still like it ? Do you still recommend it ? Any failures ?

Also, do you have any updated pics on how you mounted it ?

I'll take some this afternoon. Unit is still up and running perfectly. No complaints
