I bought the remote and I am so far pretty pleased. But is there a way I can program the power button to power on or off multiple devices at once?

No, and I agree with Book Bear (no relation) about Harmony remotes. I have one I no longer use. One major problem with that type of remote is that when it fails (and it will) to do everything you programmed it to do you have forgotten all the steps you went through to manually do it. When you regularly use a remote like this GE you will have much less frustration in the long run. InMyHumbleOpinion. Also the harmony is a POS

No. For that you would need something like the Harmony remotes (which are a huge pain to program).

You can program it just like you would any other universal remote - you can type in the model of your device or you can do a search until it works.

The remote buttons are matched to individual receivers. I don't believe there is a way to operate more than one per button. Etekcity has a different product that can be configured, but the receivers don't have on/off buttons like this one does.

No, this is why the remote is present. If it worked like that, then the remote, itself, would be of no use or useless. You can simply set it to one settinf and hit the on and off button of the remote, which works just like that of a light switch.

I had to test ithe feature before answering your question. The power button has a rectangular hole so that you can use the phone to control your TV, for example. I have mind set up to control my Sony Home Theater and Samsung TV. As a test, I can turn them on / off with the phone case on.

I don't know how you would do that. All 5 of them are coded differently so they don't all come on or go off at the same time. Why wouldn't you want to use the remote that comes with it?

It should automatically switch to whatever is on. If you have more than one device turned on then you'll have to switch manually.

I have the same problem. Not only that, but there seems to be an issue with the power button whether using the remote or pushing the button manually. I like its features when it works, but this power issue makes me think I got one off of the line from late Friday production run because it is crap.

You buy a module for each device you want to control and one remote controls all module. I think I have 12 modules and have them programmed on two buttons because they are on different schedules. The system works perfectly and I love it!

You should be ok, there are dip switches that let you set each one to different frequency, i have 2 and they don't interfere. Actually because of the remote's 2 sets of controls, i can control both switches from one remote. But you don't have to set it up that way.

The power switch on the unit controls all 4 at once. No option to power drives individually. I don't know of any Sans digital product that does. You can spin drives down through software and pull them individually.

All you have to do is plug in power switch to wall outlet, plug in desired item to power switch, make sure that ON button is pressed on power switch, make sure that item itself turned on and then use remote by pressing the corresponding button (1, 2 or 3). I will check to see if I still have the actual instructions to check if I missed anything.***8/5/13: Sorry --- did not find instructions. I hope you were able to get your devices going. :)

To pair a remote with multiple controllers, perform these steps for each combination:1. Remove power from controller for at least 5 seconds2. Apply power to controller and within 5 seconds hold down both 100% and 25% keys for 5 seconds

I believe the remote has buttons for three outlet units. My suggestion would be to get the three outlet units. You may find great uses for the others.

You can program the remote yourself. Just follow the instructions they give you.

No. You can program up to 5 different remotes, AS I RECALL, which would be all different remotes with different remote codes. The other thing I remember is they did suggest purging out any old remote codes, which is done by entering the new remote code as many times as needed to purge that old one out. I admit I didn't follow this advice, mainly because it is tricky enough to program a new remote once, let alone three or four more times. Don't let that scare you off from programing a remote. I just had to write all the steps down in MS Word, and print them out, and just go for it. In the end, it was all over in a few minutes - and it worked! Ha Ha!
