Hands On With The Visual Energy Programmable Monostrip

monoNot everything needs a web server... or does it? The Visual Energy Monostrip is one of the first power strips - more an outlet, really - with a built-in server that allows you to configure, control, and monitor the amount of juice going into various appliances.The product isn't visually arresting - the company also makes the UFO, which looks far cooler - but the functionality is what's important. With the built-in server and Wi-Fi you can turn the light on and off remotely and schedule it to go on and off at certain times. You can also see how much you're paying to power the socket.
