Revolt Remote-controlled socket with teachable infrared sensor

Customer Review

The outlet is functioning as specified. It separates or activates the current for an incoming infrared signal (which can be learned from the respective remote control). The infrared receiver hangs on a fairly long cable and responds to all incoming signals, even from oblique angles. The design of the outlet I can find something clunky, one would have the power socket can certainly compact build, with the usual multiple sockets them face definitely adjacent cans.

I have the remote-controlled socket for a soundbar needed, always angefängt their power in standby mode for the buzz. Usually I use Powersafer, of which I have 3 pieces at home. This disconnect if a certain standby power is reached, automatically the power supply. This works but not so good if more than one device at the same time depend on Powersafer, or individual are turned on, others off. Even with my Soundbar has caused problems of Powersafer. Somehow apparently came after separation by a certain leakage current, so that the soundbar has repeatedly tried to turn.
I thought I Try these remote-controlled Revolt socket and it worked right away. The Revolt socket comes in the actual outlet and the status LED starts to flash, which it signals the willingness of the infrared signal. It is enough to press the corresponding button on the remote control (in my case the power button of the remote control Soundbar), the LED flashes rapidly and then turns off. Now may be the same button the socket on / off. The Soundbar is therefore either completely disconnected from the mains, or just the current. Will you "to program" another button, it extends the button on the outlet for 2 seconds, then the LED will start flashing again.
If the outlet is "on", the LED is on, it is "off", the LED is off.

One problem I've noticed, but this depends on the connected equipment. In my case, my Soundbar on briefly after the power is turned on, but is now also back to standby mode. Now, if I wanted to turn on the remote Soundbar, I would logically same again interrupt the power supply from the wall outlet, a small vicious circle. Thank God my reacts Soundbar in standby on any button on the remote control, so I with another key fact being able to switch on the soundbar after turning on the power outlet. Could that other devices cause problems, for example, I know from my rear projection TV, which in turn has a longer warm-up after being completely disconnected from the power. Also, the TV would change after the warm-up period back to standby mode, a further pressure on the same Power button that has been selected to activate the socket would, however, turn off the power socket. As I said, the problem depends on the device and not a failure of the socket.
How much power the outlet in "standby mode" used, I have not measured, but it'll do on occasion and post the result.
