Does the unit power on automatically when plugged in or is there any other way to power it on other than the remote?

When you use the built in remote, you press power and it turns on. Then when you remove power it turns off. However when you put power back it will REMEMBER the remote was set to ON, so it turns on as soon as power is applied. No need for the remote after that.

Starts as soon as you apply power. You could add a simple switch though if you like

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

Yes it does power on. I do the same thing. it also autoconnects with your iphone, and also make sure you keep your bluetooth on all the time. if you dont you will have to reconnect each time

There is no power button on the unit, you just plug it in, make sure to attach the power wire to the init before plugging it into the wall. If you have a way of controlling power to the outlet via switch/remote control or what ever it should power the unit on and off. But if it is off it will not automatically connect to your bluetooth device when you come home

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, I am having this problem currently. I press power (on the remote) to turn it off, it turns off briefly then on again after 5 seconds. I have to turn it off 5-6 times before it sticks.

It has it's own power supply so I have not had any problems with powering anything. Also, since it has a separate power supply, it charges things while the comp is turned off. I highly recommend this unit.

Nothing automatic about this unit. Plug it in, it's on. Unplug it, it's off. I have mine connected to a timer to run for a determined amount of time, usually 2 hours before I need to start my truck.

I think the remote is a sealed unit. Not sure. My remote is currently not working. I think the problem is with the plugin unit. It doesn't get warm to the touch like other plugin units I have had. Again not sure about my problem. I just realized you said charging , not changing. You should have a unit that plugs into a wall socket and then the remote plugs into the wall plugin unit. The red light on the remote comes on when the remote needs charging and goes out when the remote is fully charged. Hope that long answer helps. -Gene-

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! :)

I am not 100% sure since its been a while, but I think it does not automatically turn on after power up and return to the channel. you should ask the seller.

I simply turned off power strip that unit is plugged into for about 5 minutes. Voila! It worked again. And, since having the unit for over a year, I just realized you can turn it on simply by passing your hand over the touch sensor. No need to turn unit on manually.

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.

I just got mine. It has a power button and a remote control. You can turn off the power from both. I suppose there is still some power draw, so you might want to consider unplugging it.

Yes but the unit takes several times to power on after pressing the on button

There is no option to turn it on and off via remote. I just unplug it from the back when not in use

It does power unit but when plugged in Can not turn power off like the factory unit and actually have to unplug device or it remains on all the time. Kinda annoying but in reality not having unit on standby saves energy I suppose.

You can just plug it in or do as I did. I bought a electric timer for $ 10 to plug the unit into. Works great.
