Switched power strip
One flip for a whole desk or TV stack
Enrev does not sell products. This page explains how the saver works and where we mention it in hacks — so you can decide for yourself. No cart, no checkout.
A power strip with a real rocker switch — no app required. Flip once and an entire cable nest loses power. The analog twin of a smart plug, perfect for renters.
How it works
Plug monitors, speakers, consoles, and spare chargers into the strip. Leave always-on essentials (router, medical devices) on a wall outlet. Mount the strip where you can reach the switch without crawling behind furniture.
Desk pattern
- One strip for “work day” devices, flipped off when you leave.
- Label outlets if kids or guests share the space.
- Don’t exceed the amp rating printed on the strip.
- Combine with cable ties so flipping doesn’t yank plugs loose.
TV pattern
Entertainment stacks are classic phantom-load nests. One switch by the couch arm kills the soft-off glow. Tell household members once — then it becomes muscle memory.
A finger flip is still the most reliable automation.
Practical tips
- Avoid “surge protector daisy chains” that overload a single outlet.
- If you need schedules while traveling, add a smart plug upstream instead of replacing the strip.
