I have my machine and my lamp plugged into a surge protector and I turn my power on and off there. If I am out of the room and I see the light is on in my room, then I know my machine is still on, too. It's my way of being sure everything is shut off at night. On the other side of the room I have my iron and a light plugged into a different surge protector for the same reason...if the light is on, the iron is on.
