Plug in with the Quirky Pivot Power Genius (pictures)

The $79.99 Quirky Pivot Power Genius is a flexible power strip with two Wi-Fi-enabled outlets that you'll be able to power on and off remotely from your iOS or Android device.

The Pivot Power Genius has joints at every outlet, allowing you to bend it into a variety of different shapes, helping to ensure that there's plenty of room for all of your plugs.

The Pivot Power Genius is a bit wider and longer than the average power strip, and unfortunately, it also features fewer actual outlets.

Each of the two smart sockets has a blue light that illuminates to let you know when it's powered on. In addition to controlling them remotely, you'll be able to turn each one on and off by pressing a small button on the side of the strip.

The Pivot Power Genius' house-shaped indicator light will flash different colors to let you know the status of the power strip. You'll also use it to connect your strip to your Wi-Fi network -- just download the free Wink app, start the link process, then hold your phone's screen against the strip. Your phone will flash a pattern that tells the indicator light everything it needs to know in a matter of seconds.

If the caption on that last slide sounded confusing, don't worry. The free Wink app makes the link process quick and easy.

The Wink app is very well designed, with superb illustrations and simple controls.
