Product Description

Product Description

Bye Bye Standby is an energy-saving solution designed to reduce the daily energy consumption of electrical devices. Bye Bye Standby works by completely cutting power to the devices plugged into it when they're not in use, thus saving the power that these devices would otherwise have consumed in Standby Mode, and giving users convenient control over their devices by remote control.

Amazon.com

The Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit is a completely new way to reduce the energy consumed by electric devices in your home or office. Plug your computer, printer, or stereo into a Bye Bye Standby adapter and instantly save money on your electric bill. These smart devices will completely cut power to your gadgets when they are not in use, and you don't have to unplug anything! There's even a handy remote with a coding system that allows you to control multiple Bye Bye Standby modules. This kit includes two wall adapter sockets and a remote control.

Bye Bye Standby offers:
  • Elimination of phantom power to help save money.
  • Included remote control that controls up to three zones.
  • A one-year warranty.

Get Control of Your Gadgets
Bye Bye Standby is the perfect accessory for all of your appliances that have standby modes, such as your TV, printer, or wireless router. When you're out on the town or asleep in bed, your appliances are sucking energy--even though they are not turned on. With Bye Bye Standby, you can put an end to this needless energy waste. Just press a single button on the included remote control to disconnect your stereo or other device from anywhere in the room--no more crawling around under desks and behind entertainment centers to unplug your electronics. Press the button again and reconnect your appliances in a snap.

Bye Bye Standby adapters connect between a wall socket and an electrical device. You can use a Bye Bye Standby three-plug socket adapter to control an entire power strip's worth of devices, or you can control devices individually using separate adapters.

Easy Installation
Installing a Bye Bye Standby wall adapter is a cinch, just plug and play! First, set the dial on the back of the module to the code of your choice; this code will correspond to a four-position switch on the included remote control. Next, insert the socket adapter into your home or office outlet and plug in your devices. It's that easy!

Bye Bye Standby socket adapters should only be used indoors, away from rain or humidity. Do not connect electrical devices with heating elements, such as microwaves or space heaters, to the adapters.

Save Money on Your Energy Bills
Computers, routers, and other electronic devices draw power even when in standby mode, so the meter on your electric bill is almost always running. Recent studies show that in the average household, leakage from standby power accounts for 15 percent of energy consumption. By plugging your gear into a Bye Bye Standby socket, you have the ability to completely shut off power to these devices, thereby eliminating wasted electricity and wasted money.

Reduce Carbon Emissions
By using the Bye Bye Standby, you'll be doing your part to reduce the large amount of CO2-equivalent emissions that are attributed to electrical devices left in standby mode. It is estimated that the power used by Americans releases roughly the same amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as 3.7 million cars! Use Bye Bye Standby and do your part to protect the environment.

The Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit is covered by a one-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
Two Bye Bye Standby socket adapters, one remote control.



A single press of a button on the remote puts an end to needless energy waste.

I have had my Bye Bye Standby for a few years now and think it's just GREAT. I only wish I could find additional outlet adapters to use with the remote control switch I got - it will accommodate up to three zones, but only comes with two outlet adapters. I got another set and keep one remote control upstairs and one downstairs for those nights I might forget to push the button before retiring. I need a couple more outlets so I can switch off my office equipment in one fell swoop. I haven't actually measured how much energy I am saving, but I DO know that just powering off one printer alone will save 5-6 dollars a year, and we have 3 printers, 3 computers, and a fax. We currently use BBSB to kill the juice going to the TV, VCR, & DVDs in two rooms, but can still leave the DVR on to record. It's great and the remote works all over the house - I checked. BTW - when I bought this back in '08 I only paid $16 & change for each kit of 2 outlets and 1 remote - I just looked at the current price (11/11) and it has really increased. Mine are still going strong.

These things are great! I have purchased two sets, and have one remote at the front door, and one in the bedroom. The distance is pretty good, I tend to make sure I am close enough to hear the click sound made, when I turn things on and off. You can see that the remotes only have 3 switches on the front, but there is A/B/C/D on the back. On the units plugged into the wall, you select A-1/2/3 B-1/2/3 C-1/2/3 D-1/2/3, so by default you have have A set in the back and control three units, moving the back control to B allows you to control another set of three. I currently use it for my tv setup in the front, pc in the back, wireless router/internet box, and tv in back room.

This is the best power conservation hardware I could find, not to mention the awesome price. I know these will pay for themselves within a month or two!

I love this product. It works well and is great for lamps, christmas lights, and electronics. I do have two issues with it though:

#1 There is a little red light that stays on all the time when it is plugged in. I hope it's an LED, but I wonder about the "ghost load" that comes with the little red light that stays on 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

#2 The remote has three buttons on it, but they only provide two outlets. I read the instruction manual and they did this so that you could buy more of their "Energy Saving Kits" and put up to three outlets on one remote. I just look at my remote with one unusable button and feel annoyed.

This is why everyone should buy at least two packs of these:
1) As mentioned in prior reviews, you only need to use one plug on any outlet! This feature came in handier than I expected because I didn't want to turn off clocks, DVRs, etc.
2) It's cheap! Why pay $60+ for a single Belkin surge protector that only works for one location when I already HAVE several surge protectors where I need them, and all I really want is the ability to turn off the appliances with the ghost power - in VARYING locations - with a single switch?
3) Safety - I had an extra, unused plug. I decided to keep that one on a different "zone" and use it as a safety light. I know it sounds a bit paranoid, but I live in the city of Richmond. Sometimes there is "activity" a little too close to my house at night. I plugged a lamp downstairs into the extra outlet, and now I can turn on that light using any remote control from anywhere in the house.
4) I agree that the three "zones", one remote, two outlet thing is a little puzzling, but it was perfect for me because I bought three packs. I have my 3 remotes by the front door, back door, and upstairs. I my 6 plugs connected to my TV/VCR, desk & computer stuff, nightstand (ipod charger, sewing machine, etc.), two different stereos, and the lamp mentioned above. That's 3 remotes for the two zones I control and the 6 outlets I manage. Perfect for me.
5) I buy green power so I pay a little more, but if I calculated correctly, I should be able to save the $46 I paid by the end of 12 months.
OK, there's my soapbox. I love this kit!

I read about these and was interested in how they could help me cut my energy use and become a little more green. I was a little skeptical to spend $15 to save an unknown amount of money/energy on vampire power costs, but I like gadgets and figure they couldn't hurt. If nothing else, they make me feel better mentally. Plus, using them diligently, I'm sure the "value" builds up over time. The package comes with two outlets and a single remote. I purchased a single set to use in my bedroom and office. Included are two units that plug into any regular outlet, and a single remote that controls each. I've been using them daily (or as needed, depending on the electronics connected) for approximately 6 months.

In the office, I plugged into the unit the power strip with my PC, monitor and printer. In my bedroom I did the same with the power strip controlling my TV, DVD player, cell phone charger and laptop cord. Side note: Keep in mind you don't want to plug your cable box/DVR into the supplied outlet because the box will need to reboot after every full shut down, and of course not record your shows if it has no power.

At night, when I go to bed I simply turn off power to each strip remotely with the controller, and sleep better knowing they're not eating up energy for no reason. My office is approximately 30 feet from my bedroom, and I can use the remote to power off the unit in my office each night from my bed, without problems. It even makes an audible "click" so you know it has cut off power to my PC and related items. If I use any of the electronics in the morning, I just click them on, and again click them off before I leave for work.

The units themselves seem well made, work as promised, and the price is affordable. I'm pleased with this product and would certainly recommend this product to anyone looking to cut vampires out of their energy consumption.
