Energy-saving plug-in devices, such as smart plugs and advanced power strips, are effective tools for reducing standby power consumption. Smart plugs allow remote control and scheduling, helping to ensure that devices are only drawing power when needed. Advanced power strips can cut power to connected devices when they are not in use or based on a set schedule, eliminating unnecessary energy waste. Additionally, energy monitors help identify which devices consume the most power in standby mode, allowing for more targeted energy-saving measures. Together, these tools can significantly reduce electricity bills and environmental impact by minimizing phantom power use.
