how do you get power to the controlled outlets?

When the device that is plugged into the master outlet (controller) is turned on, Smart Strip senses that and turns on power to the controlled outlets.

There is a designated port that you plug in a device that you want to control the power. When that"controlling unit" draws power, the strip senses that and then turns on the power to the other outlet.

the way I wired it was simply power and ground. I wired it to a relay first then a switch. its really basic

Let a line voltage tstat contro an outlet that the power supply is plugged into

I do it with a splitter, but it only has one outlet and will not control them independently.

I'm not sure I can completely answer your question. There isn't a control of any kind, you just plug it in.

There is a red and black wire to power the unit with...12v dc. There are four other wires for two outputs that are remote controlled. Connect the devices you wish to run remotely to those wires.

There are no outlets that come with the controller. Additionally there is no power cable. All of this will need To be hard wired into it.

Just power. To nearest outlet. Ethernet connection not required. You tube will have videos to help with set up.

no power draw that i'm aware of, the unit is activated when triggered by an outside source.

no there isn't, you have to just unplug it or hook it up to a power strip with other items and make the power strip the master "on/off"

Add a fourth wire and put all 4 in a bundel with a wire nut. Then use the 4 to give power to the receptacle.

There is no indication. You can plug a radio or a lamp when you are setting up your system though to make sure it working properly. I think the master/control device you have isn't completely turning off. I use my television, and I had to turn off the quick start up feature to get this to work. If whatever device you're using has something like that, then it won't sense that the master device has ever shut down, so there will always be power to the controlled outlets. Hope this helps.

You can hardwire them, or plug them in. I have mine hardwired, but you need to keep that adapter that comes with it. So you have light --> adapter --> hardwired. Or you can do light --> adapter --> plug into outlet.

They are electric, so you need an outlet, or an external power source such as a generator.

I only use one of the outlets, but I don't think there is any way to have them work separately at different times.

There should be a negative and positive terminal where you can put a wire in and clamp it as seen in the picture near the bottom corner the two terminals. You'll need to take a 9V battery and get one of those connectors where it connects to both of the battery's leads and turns them into a red and black wire.Put those wires into the terminals respectively and it should be powered

no you don't ,i would go online and see if you can bring up the instruction booklet or even go to u tube and i remember a couple videos of people wiring them in. all i remember is it was easier than i hoped for and i am not good with electricity!
