Customer Review: Outlet switching problem SOLVED!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product really does fill a need in our multi-device electronic world. We seldom think about the phantom idle current our devices use when they are "off". Makes a lot of sense to use this.
I got mine for my computer. Works perfectly straight out of the box. It also alerted me to an incorrectly wired outlet (hot and neutral lines were reversed). Corrected that by reversing black and white leads and now it shows the outlet working properly via the green Ground & Surge light being lit. Tested other outlets in my home to see if any others needed attention.
UPDATE: When I first installed the strip, it worked as provided. Over the past few weeks the setting has drifted, and has occasionally failed to shut down as before. I am in the process of tweaking the dial to find where it needs to be. Didn't realize there was a conditioning period for the unit, or that the setting would drift......annoying.
2nd UPDATE: The strip finally quit responding and will not shut off the controlled outlets, regardless of adjustments. Only if I switch the rocker switch off manually and back on. I called BITS Ltd and got an RMA to return it for an exchange. They agreed something's not working properly, I must have a defective unit. Hopefully the replacement will work right.
3rd UPDATE: Just got my RMA replacement of the new, updated version LCG3E from BITS Ltd. Seems to be working fine now, will keep an eye on it. After some tests were done, the original was found to be defective. I spoke to the tech who checked it, he explained what he had done, and shipped the replacement quickly as promised. The new style strip's controlled outlets are now marked green, and the blue Smart Strip name by the rocker switch is now screened in a different style. The box still has the old photo on it, guess they haven't taken an updated photo yet. The barcode label on the box bottom says BIT-LCG3E-10, the barcode # 855883000032. Hopefully this has taken care of the problem. So if you have an older model, don't give up if it's not working. Fill out a Contact Form under Contacts and Support on BITSLtd website. I got a fast response to my request and they took care of me.
4th UPDATE: Well, I have had the replacement LCG3E Smart Strip installed and working for about a month now, and I am happy to say that the problems have not returned! It now switches everything on/off according to the control outlet device (the desktop PC power) being switched on or off. It didn't require any adjustment right out of the box. I believe BITSLtd realized there were manufacturing or design issues with the previous versions of the strip. Customer service has been prompt and savvy in addressing the problem. The strip has a newer silk screen design, with the controlled outlets colored green, and a redesigned logo by the rocker switch, more evidence that this is a revised design change. So, I'm considering the problem officially solved. Thanks BITSLtd!
