Bye Bye Standby Online

If you're feeling a little guilty about your carbon footprint, but don't really want to give up your gadgets, then Bye Bye Standby can make you feel better about your impact on the environment by allowing you to at least reduce your energy use when you're not actually playing with your toys.

Just plug it into your router and you can monitor your energy use and even turn devices off wherever you've got an internet connection. It integrates with Bye Bye Standby's Smart Sockets and allows you to control the power supply to any device plugged into them in your home.

According to the company, the system will save the average UK household £38 a year on their electricity bill, which isn't to be sniffed at, plus you can sleep better at night knowing you're doing your bit to reduce global warming.

The device is available now for £49.99 from Bye Bye Standby.
