The GreenWave PowerNode Power Strip is a smart device that connects to your appliances and electronics to allow you to monitor and control the power consumption of your devices remotely via a web browser or smartphone. Using Z-Wave technology, the PowerNode power strip is compatible with most home automation boxes on the market such as Fibaro Home Center 2, eedomus or Zipabox. Equipped with 6 ports, it can independently control 6 different electrical devices with a total power of 10A.
The PowerNode power strip collects data on the energy consumption of connected devices and transmits them to the home automation box. You can then control the energy consumption of each connected device. This power strip also allows you to activate or deactivate devices remotely via a web browser or smartphone or to define a calendar to automatically activate or deactivate your devices at predefined times. A small wheel on the side of the power strip allows you to choose a color that will represent the room to which the power strip is assigned. For example “blue for the bedroom “. This tip will allow you to differentiate your different PowerNode multiple sockets. You can also set this dial on a padlock. This function allows you to lock the power strip in order to avoid turning it off by accident, but control from the home automation box will no longer be possible.
The PowerNode power strip also has a light status indicator which gives different information depending on its color : sockets on or off, limited radio range, inclusion and exclusion mode.
PowerNode power strip is equipped with overcurrent protection to protect connected devices. PowerNode will disable ports in the event of a faulty device or a short circuit. Additional protection is provided by the internal fuse located in the power strip.
This power strip is ideal for controlling multimedia devices in a TV cabinet or for controlling computer equipment located in an office and thus avoiding having to use 6 individual Z-Wave sockets.
