Will this unit re-start at settings after a power failure ? Would install on 24hr timer - but here in GA we have power failures pretty regular.

I returned this product as it did not perform as specified. Humidity readings made by this unit are not correct, as verified by an independent humidity monitor placed in room unit operated in.

I've been quite pleased with the unit. You can hear it through a door, but at a fairly low sound level. And after a power loss, it does come back up with the previous settings.

Yes, it says it will. I also live in GA, but I have not lost power yet. I found the instructions on setting up the system timer to be difficult for me (a tech guy) to understand, after 3 tries I called for help and my son set it up correctly on his first try, it works just fine. By the way, the timer must be set in "off mode" to "00", and in "run mode" to "00" in order for the machine to stay on all the time. Then just set the humidity level...

No, the power switch is a dial, so it would be on the same setting when the power comes back on.

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.

we have power outages and "brown outs" all the time where I live and so far the Venstar has always come right back up with all my settings in place. I've had the venstar installed for around 2 years now. You might try unplugging the venstar from it's base plate and then plug it back in to see if that will reset the unit.

It will not operate without electricity. It will restart at preset settings when power is restored.

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.

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

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 you are having it installed by an electrician you should be able to set it yup to run automatically in the event of a power failure or you can set it so that you would only turn a switch and it would come on.

Yes, mine has been running for a year or two now with several power outages; restarts automatically.

I'm not sure if I've had a power outage yet, but I've had it installed for at least 4-5 months and Haven't noticed a problem. They may be referring to the time "stopping" when the power goes out. It's a mechanical timer, I believe, so it will be susceptible to this issue.Let me know if you have any other questions. I use two of them to control some night time pendant lights at my office. Perfect for what my needs!

This model will not have an issue with power failures. Once you have the dial set . It will turn back on and keep running. The models wiith power buttons would not work

My unit loses all settings with power failures and need to be reset in all respects.

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

As the description states: Auto-restart saves your settings for when power is restored to the unit

I have never had an outage, but it's fully manual, so I would expect it to restart exactly where you set it.

I unplugged my unit to test it and it came back on. I believe that the on/off switch has to be physically depressed to turn the unit off, so it should come back on when power is restored.
