Does this device cut all power, even on the blue or red outlets, when what's plugged in to the blue/red is turned off (i.e. no more vampire effect)?

It cuts power to the green plugs but leaves the red on. The blue plug is the control. I have two of these and they both work great.

The blue is the "master" outlet that cuts power to the green outlets. The red are always on. But I have 2 lamps plugged into the green outlets and they come back on after being turned off by the master. It does what it says in that it cuts power to the green outlets when the device on the blue is turned off (in our case, the tv). So it turns off our soundbar, Xbox, etc. but then the power is restored for a time to the green outlets so the lights come back on for about 10 minutes, eventually turning off again. Depending on what you are looking for this may or may not achieve your goal.

that's what I am doing - here's what i am finding...the control item (using a kill-a-watt) is still drawing .005 amps when everything else is off...i know this is practically negligible and in the scheme of things it's not really gonna matter money wise, just led me to the question that if the most least power consumption device (i.e. -0-) was the control item there would be absolutely no draw whatsoever. Thank you for your replies and if I am completely off base, please let me know

It just turns off the line that is connected to your device. It is like pulling the plug from what ever device you are using it on

I believe when you first plug it in, that's the high setting and pressing the button on the right will reduce the output til you cycle back to the highest again (I think there are 3 output levels). On the left with the light, when it's plugged in it cycles through all the colors. If you press it once it stops on that color and stays there. If you don't want any light, press the left button until you get to no light and press it again.

You cannot turn the light off unless you unplug the product because the light is supposed to let you know that power is going through the item. If the light is off while plugged, that means there is no power.

The device will run off the power coming from the HDMI cable. I do not use a power plug.

I'm not sure what the question is but the outlet light turns off as soon as any other light enters the room whether from natural light or from a light in the room.The light itself is long lasting. A great product

I haven't noticed an increase on my electric bill and haven't measured electricity usage specifically for this device. It does go into a sleep mode when not in use. When we are going to be gone or won't be using the computers for a while ii usually turn off the power supply for this and the rest of my network peripherals.

I'm not using POE on my switch and it shows consumed power at zero percent, It would stand to reason that if your not using any POE devices its not going to use any power for POE, I don't see any settings to turn it off, the unit itself pulls 1.25 amps max.

you can cut off if you want. It should not effect or affect performance. I left mine and actually powered my light from either end. But, yes you can cut.

Neither - the device (eg lamp) is left ON with the white remote receiver connected between the device and the wall. When you activate the remote, the receiver is on, so power flows to the lamp and it is on. When the remote is deactivated, the receiver shuts off the flow of power to the device so the lamp is cut off. It is a case of 'power on/off'.

It is powered by plugging it in. The only way to turn off everything is to take it completely out of the wall outlet. As for a similar item with the feature I would suggest a larger surge protector. Those normally have a on/off switch.

Definitely. It's just a pass through for an outlet. I'm not sure it is the best way to turn off those devices, but that is for you to decide!

I installed a master disconnect switch so I could shut down power to the switch panel. The red lights indicate that power is going to the switch so as long as power is supplied they will be on by design.

Yes, as long as you have the one light plugged in to the main plug, everything else will turn off.

No, the USB charger circuit never completely powers off, though it does reduce its power usage.The unit I tested (the "decor" style, which almost certainly uses the same electronics as this one) continued to draw a bit less than half a milliamp at 120VAC when nothing was plugged in to it. This is according to a digital multimeter that I wired in series with the hot lead to my house wiring. Note that it was neither a high-end multimeter nor an oscilloscope, so it should be considered a rough reading, but should still give you a general idea of what to expect in the way of power usage.

if your getting nothing than how come your power keep cutting off? sounds like you have a wire touching somewhere or pinched
