The Addition of Smart Plugs

  I received a couple of TP-Link Kasa smart plugs a couple of days ago. The reason for the addition is top remove the visible plug strip and plug hub from the floor in front of the system. There is a wall outlet behind the system. I plugged both smart plugs into that outlet. I then plugged the power strip into one, and the plug hub into the other. The smart plugs are coonnected throughwi-fi to my smart phone Kasa app. I canturn them both on or off from my iPhone. I should explain what a plug hub is. Many devices, such as a USB hub or external hard drive have small trandsformers in the wall plug housing. they're often referred to as 'wall warts.', and they often take up the space of twoor three standard plugs. The plug hub is round and contains five plugs designed for 'wall warts'. All my transformer wall plugs fit on the hub and make for the most efficient use of power wiring devices. All other devices have standard plugs and fit on the power strip.
