PC Power Down

The problem
With 24/7 broadband, the always-available culture, 'instant' this and 'always-on' that, we have a load of gizmos and gadgets at home and at work and we seem to have forgotten how to use the off button. Computers and computer peripherals are some of the biggest offenders being left on in homes, offices and schools all day and night.

What's the answer?
PC Power Down powers down a PC if it has been left on and switches off the power to the computer's peripherals including the monitor at a scheduled time each day saving electricity and unnecessary carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. PC Power Down is available in two versions, Home Edition and Business Edition. One feature of PC Power Down is that when you power the computer back up again, all the files and applications that you were using are open and available - the computer is returned to exactly the same state as it was in before it was powered down.

What is PC Power Down?
PC Power Down consists of two elements, a software application that lets you schedule your computer to power down each day and a hardware element, a surge protected smart plug board, that senses when your computer has powered down and switches off any peripherals such as your monitor, printer or router.
