If the power goes out during the night and then comes back on, will this item return back to the on state? Or does it have to be powered on manually?

It will need to be turned back on manually. However, for me that is not a concern since I turn it on to warm the bed before climbing in and turn it off as I get in as it would be too warm to keep on. But climbing into a warm bed is great and a goose down quilt makes a pleasant night.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

Yes, but is not something you have to get out and re-charge. I guess it does it automatically, so when your power goes out it stays programmed.

Did this event already occur to you? It has not to me. However, if the surge created from all of your power coming on at once did not short out your device, then it should power back on automatically. Personally, I usually unplug all important devices when the power goes off.

It does not auto return. It is designed to switch between two sources of power. The "off" position must be passed through which insures the new source will sync properly and not cause damage. I used the switch to allow my friend to switch between line power and an dc/ac inverter in case of power outage. Without power he cannot adjust the bed to allow him to transfer to his wheelchair, leaving him trapped in the bed until the outage is over. He was terrified a hurricaine would trap him in the bed for days.

the power light comes on when there is re-engaged power. The settings won't be re-iniated though. You have to manually slam the thing against the wall and call it a day. Its a one hit wonder, and I hit it once and wondered why I bought the dern thing! :)

Whenever the unit gains power back it defaults to a power on state, which if memory serves right just turns on the last built in macro of the unit that you were using the last time it got powered off. Hope this helps.

The unit CANNOT be operated during a power outage..it has an electronic ignation which needs the power to function. As for having to manually reset the unit after an outage, we have never had to do any reset on the already input settings dispite many outages due to heavy snow... Hope this helps...we have two (2) units and love them.....

If it is plugged in to AC. Mine is not using battery backup and if the power goes off, the unit goes off.

The item is not a battery operated unit. It will only function when the power is on. Also, my wife's has died since my original review.

you have to turn it on manually. after you have been stopped for a while, it will time out and turn off to save battery power

If you can wire it into the back-up light, it will come on when you shift to reverse. If you hook the source wire to + 12V it can be switched on manually or be on all the time.

It does not power on automatically. You have to use the remote as far as I know.

No, it will not automatically power itself off but it will go into deep sleep mode to save the power after xx minute without any opeartion.

No. When you turn light off manually, you will need to turn back on manually. The remote unit cuts power off at plug & turns it back on, the light must be manually on for the remote to turn it on & off.

It has to be turned on manually each night,but the shut off is timed by the unit internally. Love this item by the way.

Unfortunately it will just power it down and you have to use remote or turn the fan back on.. everything that was on has to be turned back on, so No it will not work, sorry.
