Intelliplug and Intellipanel we introduced a couple of products used to
save energy by automatically totally cutting the power to devices in
standby mode.
Both the
Intelliplug and
Intellipanel (pictured above) work in the same way. A
desktop computer is plugged into a
master socket, and all the periperal items (monitor, printers, scanners, speakers, and even desk lamps etc) are plugged into the other sockets. When the computer is switched off or goes into standby mode, the
Intellplug or
Intellipanel automatically cuts the power to all of the connected devices.
These are both excellent products which help to reduce
carbon emissions,
save electricity, and they can pay for themselves in the financial savings they provide. However, they have one limitation - they
cannot be used with
laptop computers.
Intellipanel for Laptop Computers
The original
Intellipanel knew the attached computer had been turned off or been put into standby mode by detecting the drop in power drawn through the
master socket used for powering the computer. Unfortunately this method could not be used with
laptop computers since they continue to draw power to recharge their internal battery even when switched off.
Now the manufactures of
Intellipanel,
One Click Technologies Ltd have come up with a new Intellipanel product (pictured above) specifically for use with laptop computers. A
USB cable is used to connect the laptop to the
Intellipanel to tell it when it is switched off or in standby mode.
Both types of
Intellipanel are recognised by the
Energy Saving Trust. They have a total of eight sockets - seven for peripherals and one
master socket - and offer power
surge protection, a
telephone/modem splitter, and they are Mac and PC compatible.
Buying an Intellipanel
Unfortunately the
laptop Intellipanel cannot be used with desktop computers and visa versa. Both are priced the same at around
£30.00. The
Intelliplug is now also available in a USB-connected
laptop version in addition to its standard
desktop version for around half the price of the Intellipanel.
