SnapAV-WattBox Power Supply

We had the honor to have a Snap AV representative come to our office last week to give us more details about the Watt Box Power Supply.  WattBox can be considered a smart power supply, in that it is both power and IP connected. Each port can be  activated and monitored for better power efficiency and reliability. With a remote command we can now power down your system and correctly activate each device.

WesternAV has started the installation of the Wattbox to reduce unneeded service calls and to remotely service your system. We believe this device will also help out when our customers are away on vacation, we won’t need to access the home.
