When power conditioners and power protection devices that stabilize electricity for your electronics are combined with Internet connectivity, or IP (Internet Protocol), you can have a powerful energy management and control system. SurgeX’s new line of Axess products do just that. The Axess Elite ($1,829) features outlet-level energy management and control, with two-way communication that monitors and manages energy usage. You can schedule components to shut down if they’re using too much energy. Remote rebooting of components is also possible. For more basic needs, Axess and Axess Ready products including the XF-2AR surge protector/power conditioner ($599) are available.
