I’ll give you an example from our house. We have a number of the Aeotec versions. In our master bedroom, living room and basement entertainment room we have a TV, AV receiver, DirecTV receiver, HTPC, Sonos Connect:AMP and subwoofer. We look at the power consumed by the TV and AV receiver to determine if we are watching TV or listening to music. If we are watching or listening another outlet turns the subwoofer on. We don’t leave the subwoofers powered because they consume about 30 watts in standby. Lighting is affected in some rooms when we are watching TV, the power consumed by the TV determines the lighting scene. The HTPC, Sonos and DirecTV receiver also consume a little current in standby. When we are asleep the Sonos, TV, DirecTV and receiver are powered off by the strip. When we are on vacation all of it is turned off. In the media room in the basement, since it is intermittently used, all of the equipment is turned off when we go to sleep. It is only turned on again when the Harmony remote is used to watch TV.
We we also have strips in the garage, shed and server closet.Last edited by randy; October 1, 2018, 10:50 AM.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.16 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

I have the Aeotec individual ones that control:
1) Cable box
2) Router
3) PC running HS3
4) Rpi running deCONZ for zigbee
5) NVR security camera recorder
6) Solaredge Zigbee Gateway
7) z-net (I knew there was one more thing)
If for example I need to reset the router, I can shut it off (from anywhere) and it will power back on, same for cable box and the other items. Not something I really want to do, but knowing that the outlet will go back to last power state is a big plus. I have the first zooz but that one went to off as default making it useless.
The same would apply to both my A/V system and even to my desktop PC with printer, external hard drive, sound system, monitors, etc.
As long as it works as designed, IMO, Zooz hit a homerun with this.

Originally posted by The Profit View PostOnce you turn off the power to your router, how is it commanded to turn back on? Are your Z-Nets on a different network? Or your outlets just automatically turn back on when turned off?
Actually, now that you mention it, I put all the wires in two cabinets over the summer (WAF) and I really should confirm that I re-connected everything properly. Thanks!

There are also parameters that can turn an outlet on or off after a preset period of time. This could be useful if you want to cycle a router, switch or anything else that might stop Z-Wave from communicating. Suppose you want to power cycle your network switch, you could set the auto turn-on to 1 minute, allowing you to power it off by Z-Wave and have it turn back on by itself after a minute.
Parameter 1 will set ti to return to the last state after a power failure or return all to off or on.
