1. A method for controlling power to outlets of a load presence controlled power strip, the method comprising:
providing a power strip with a power cord for connecting to a power outlet and a plurality of electrical outlets connected to receive the electrical current from the power cord;
powering the power strip with an electrical current from the power outlet;
configuring a current limiting circuit connected between the power cord and the plurality of electrical outlets;
controlling a microcontroller connected to the current limiting circuit;
detecting current draw with a current sensor connected to at least one of the plurality of electrical outlets;
increasing current over time to one of the plurality of electrical outlets by the configuring of the current limiting circuit by operation of the microcontroller if the current sensor detects electrical current to the one of the plurality of electrical outlets.
