OneClick Energy Saving IntelliPlug for TV
Energy Saving Trust accredits OneClick’s ‘goodbye to standby’ innovation, the IntelliPlug.
UK climate change campaigner the Energy Saving Trust has added IntelliPlug, the world’s first ‘intelligent plug’ from OneClick Technologies Ltd, to its list of Energy Saving Recommended products. The IntelliPlug range is designed to power down peripheral devices such as monitors, powered hubs, docking stations, printers and speakers (for PC) automatically when a ‘master’ computer is switched off — Or DVD Player/Home Cinema/HiFi and your TV at the wall, when you power off your TV via your TV remote (for TV) – a simple yet innovative concept that delivers a significant reduction in electrical power use and therefore fuel bills.
In the world’s most developed nations, it is estimated(1) that some 5–10% of total electricity consumption is wasted by devices left on standby, i.e. not in use but still drawing power. The picture in businesses is just as worrying, with computer equipment left on at night or at weekends wasting well over £100 million of electricity per year and equivalent carbon emissions to the exhaust fumes of 120,000 large 4×4 vehicles (2).
The UK government backed Energy Saving Trust (EST) was established following the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 to promote the sustainable use of energy and so reduce the carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming. One of its functions is to signpost to consumers the most energy efficient appliances via its Energy Saving Recommended scheme, which sets strict criteria for energy efficiency of domestic appliances, from heating and light bulbs to integrated digital televisions.
The chief EST criterion for a product such as IntelliPlug is automatic switch-off of connected devices to yield a standby mode power consumption of less than 1 watt. In fact, IntelliPlug cuts standby power from typically 35 watts to as little as 0.4 watt, depending on the number of connected devices. In comfortably exceeding the EST requirements, it becomes the first energy saving plug to carry the Trust’s coveted ‘Energy Saving Recommended’ logo.
Adrian Arnold, Head of Trade Marketing for the Energy Saving Trust, commented: “The Energy Saving Trust is always supportive of technologies that encourage consumers to be more energy efficient in their day-to-day lives. By taking small measures, such as turning appliances off standby, we can make a significant impact in reducing the UK’s CO2 emissions, as well as saving money on our energy bills at the same time.”
Superficially resembling a standard three-way extension block, the first-generation IntelliPlug is designed for use with desktop computers and their peripheral equipment. Powering down a PC plugged into the ‘master’ socket automatically switches off devices such as monitors, printers, scanners and speakers plugged into the two ‘slave’ sockets, either directly or via extension plugs.
OneClick’s patented ‘intelligent auto-calibration’ feature determines the ‘on’ and ‘off’ power levels of the master PC and adjusts the switch-off thresholds accordingly, allowing IntelliPlug to work with a range of PC equipment.
“With increasing awareness of the number of items left on standby 24 hours a day, many people are wondering what they as individuals can do about it,” said Peter Robertson, Managing Director of OneClick Technologies. “IntelliPlug is an instant solution, simply plug and play. It is ideal both for offices and for the home, where children often have games consoles and sub-woofers that are never switched off.
“An energy saving of up to 10% per household and business would be reflected in lower energy costs and a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, while IntelliPlug’s low cost means that each unit should pay for itself in fuel cost savings within a year.”
Complementing its energy saving function, the IntelliPlug incorporates surge protection to guard delicate electronic equipment against potentially dangerous high voltage spikes in the mains supply.

OneClick Technologies is a UK-based start-up company borne out of the realisation that vast quantities of electricity — and hence carbon dioxide emissions from power stations, which are blamed for climate change — are being wasted through electrical leakage from a multitude of sources. The two biggest culprits have been identified as computers and audiovisual (AV) systems. OneClick will offers a range of intelligent products that reduce electrical waste, helping to conserve the Earth’s resources while, as a welcome side benefit, saving money on fuel bills for both households and businesses.
