After a power outage, do appliances plugged into these need to be turned back on, or do they return to the on/off state they were in b4 the outage?

The outage causes them to automatically turn to the off state. You do not need to reprogram the outlets though. You do need to turn the appliances back on with the remote.

I blew the circuits twice since I've had my outlets, neither time did the outlets need to be reprogrammed. The appliances plugged into them did.

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

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.

Make sure to have the sensor pointed out front, you might have to unscrew it just a tiny bit to get it to face out, had to do it with mine. After that I just leave them on 24/7 and they go on and off by themselves. When the power went out it took a little bit for them to come back on again, but they started to work fine after that.

True of any AC appliance, obviously, no power, no go. I live in a rural area where this is a frequent occurrence, so I have to maintain a landline just in case. Even if I used my generator, the wi-fi ISP I use does not, so in a matter of 4 hours, no phone service

If the power goes off, you need to turn the lights back on once power is restored.

The heater will come back on with the settings that you have set when the power goes off and comes back on. I think this is a great heater but I couldn't keep mine because it was damaged/defective.

I do not have this experience yet. It seems like the heater should be shut off when power goes out, restarting the unit should require manual reset. Hope the unit is designed this way.

Apologies, I miss understood the question. I thought you wanted the system to continue to operate during a power outage.

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

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

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

No reason why not, Except! If the power goes out this switch will reset to the off position when power comes back on so you will have to turn your switch on again. If all you are using are surge protectors, no problem. If the are battery back up's then this would definitely cause your systems to crash if you were no there to turn the switch back on.

Well, I just unplugged it and plugged it back in. The lights don't come back on....at all. You have to press the "on" button to get the lights to come back on.

On my unit if the power plug gets pulled when it is on it comes back on. So if the unit is own a power strip and the power strip gets turned off the unit will power back up. I keep my unit on my desk but keep it powered off unless I need to use it.

It is true that this timer needs to be "reset" after a power outage. The reason is because it is hardwired to your electricity. But resetting is fairly simple and even if you can't get to it when you'd like, once the power comes on it will begin to cycle again from where it left off.

I have never experienced a power outage with my units. My guess, considering the technology, is that it will retain the last state. I installed them at our winter home in Arizona and I am currently in Canada or I would shut down the circuit and do a test. You definitely do not need to re-program as the matched sets come from the factory pre-set and are certainly not powered in the box. As with any electronics, an unusual situation/distrubance caused by lightning interacting with power line, frequency shift, etc can cause strange occurances. My experience with these devices has been very positive. I have never experienced a power outage with my units. My guess, considering the technology, is that it will retain the last state.

You just have to flip switch again. No big deal. Our lights went out the other night and I did have to turn it back on.
