SensorPlug Motion Activated Outlet

Published by cjmullin at 12:03 am under Home Electronics, Miscellaneous, Power Accessories

I have been looking around for motion sensor light switches for years, mainly because of the increasing amount of teenagers that enter my house and decide not to remember to turn them off. But somehow I always forget to pick a few up when at the hardware store. Since I have begun this journey for the perfect solution, there have been a wide variety of products out there that have really peaked my interest. For example, take a look at this SensorPlug motion activated electrical outlet. I can really use this for more than just my lights. Radios, televisions, annoying little gizmos that my dear children seem to think magically tuen off by themselves. I know I have ranted about this in some of my older posts, but imagine that I am still being haunted by the very same problem. I really have nobody but my procrastination to blame.

The SensorPlug keeps thing nice and simple. You don’t have to install anything, you just easily plug it into your existing outlet, then plug your device(s) into it and you are done. You can set the timer to shut down after 2 to 5 minutes of inactivity to fit your personal preferences. Whenever motion is detected, the timer resets. And the sensor offers a wide angle range to fit any spot in the house. You can even put one in the office and see who’s nodding off at their desk.

You will really enjoy one of these at your home, especially if your kids are like mine. I am not too sure if the electrical bill will reflect any savings with the rising energy costs of this world, but it will sure be nice to not have to run through the house every ten minutes turning everything off.
