Belkin said that its new products will help people control their energy use. Its Conserve Insight energy-use monitor helps monitor energy use by showing how much devices really cost—in watts, dollars, and carbon dioxide. A device such as a TV or microwave can be plugged into Conserve Insight to see its true impact on wallet and the environment.
The Conserve Smart AV auto-off surge protector detects the power state of the TV and accordingly turns on/off the connected components—like video game consoles, DVD players, and home theatre equipment. Its 1080 joules of surge protection ensure electronics are safe from power spikes or surges.
The Conserve Valet smart charging station can be used to charge all mobile devices, and it shuts off automatically when the devices are fully charged. The product itself draws zero power when not in use. The Conserve Valet charges up to four devices such as cell phones, music players, and handheld video games.
The Conserve Socket power timer automatically shuts off power after a set time interval, completely cutting the power to devices such as curling irons, fans, and space heaters.
These four products add to Belkins’ portfolio of energy asving products that include Conserve Switch and the Conserve Surge, which enable energy conservation by reducing standby power in homes and offices.
Mark Reynoso, CEO and president of Belkin, said: “Our research shows that although people have a strong desire to minimize their impact to the earth, there haven’t yet been tools available to provide insight about their energy use. With the Conserve Insight, Socket, Valet, and Smart AV, people can now have better control and knowledge of their energy management.”
