If the switch is "ON" and it stops having power delivered to it (e.g. a circuit breaker trips) will it resume to "ON" when the power comes back?

I cannot say for sure but I think that anytime the power is lost the units would shut off and would manually have to be turned on. To be sure I would call Manufacturer Sorry I couldn't help.

I believe I have had that situation in the form of unplugging the device for a minute while on. As I remember, it did not reset to "off." Sorry I can't be more specific. If I remember, I'll try it at home tonight.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

Usually a power strip has an on/off switch onboard, but if yours does not, then sure, plug it in to the conserve power switch, and switch the whole thing on and off at once! Works great and has a little green light in the switch to remind you that it's on.

No.A full push on the switch will turn it on or off, while a half push will cycle through the modes.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

Not sure what you are asking, it simply replaces the switch. Whatever the switch is connected to turns off and on. Make sure you know what you are doing or hire a pro, this needs a common some existing switches do not have one available.

if it's set at on when the power goes out, it will automatically come back on when the power is restored

The way the switch works is if the primary power source fails it will auto switch it and you wouldnt even notice it. If you want to split the loads you have to run seperate wiring.

If you turn off the switch, it will start back at the beginning. If you press the "play-pause" button, which is a "rolly thingy", it will stop and restart where you left off. If you "pause" it, then turn it off, it will start where you left off.

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

mine does not. It needs to be cycled back on... However, the unit can be sensitive to power surges and things like hair dryers turning on and off. Occasionally, you will just see the light turn on by itself. Not much of a problem, unless it goes on while you are away. I understand this is an issue with all switches that work on a conduction system. (like those lamps where you just touch the base and they turn on)

This is automatic. There are settings on the switch: you can leave it on and use it like a flashlight or you can leave it off or you can set it to automatic. In automatic mode, when power to the unit is cut or turned off, the unit will turn on (like during a power outage or if you pull it out of the wall socket).

Yes, there is no on or off switch. As long as the circuit breaker is on, it should restart after power is restored.

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

I have the 5 unit pack with the remote; there is no on/off switch on the socket itself. When unit is on and the power is interrupted, it turns off. When the power is restored it is necessary to use the remote to turn the unit back on again.

No. I tested it by popping the GFI (Circuit Breaker) and it resets to "OFF". I also unplugged it, while it was running and then plugged it in again and it had reset to "OFF". Hope this helps.
