Oh so this that I got from Target years ago with fewer outlets? Pass. Not an original product, no reason to fund on kickstarter.

Apparently this unit does what you are asking for.

• 5-star energy efficient design auto senses the correct wattage and only outputs full power if needed

Keep in mind they will still always be on but at a lower drain rate. None of these "reduce" your power consumption (compared to unplugging) no matter what they advertise.

thanks - good link.

I can understand that network items need to be on - but a usb power "cube" should be able to be turned on and off by sensing if you physically have something plugged in.

I want to install wall outlets that have incorporate USB power jacks into my kitchen remodel - that's a bunch of them - event three feet or so. Such a waste to have them each burning a watt for no good reason.

You do realize this is straight from Kickstarter, yes?

No. It pretends to be a news item written by an editor of MR.

Look forward to it.
