Re: Power surge? Happened to a friend in TN. Woke up to his coffee grinder on and then his water pic. Said when he unplugged the water pic sparks happened. Called the PoCo and they said a transformer went bad and he received over voltage. I've never heard of it happening before either.

Re: Power surge? My truck radio changed frequency from a station to static recently a couple times.
Re: Power surge? My old computer had Windows XP and dialup installed. If I shut it down for the night I had to disconnect the phone line, otherwise if the phone rang it would start back up.
Re: Power surge? Reminds me of my last night at the Best Western in Pampa, Texas. I used to stay there one or two nights per month for work. They 'upgraded' their heating/AC units to some sort of GE high efficiency unit or something. That thing would go through an on/off cycle 12 times per minute, I timed it. I finally changed rooms, and the heater in the new room did the same thing. What a miserable night! And, it was the last night I ever stayed there!

Apparently it had motion-activated HVAC. When I fell asleep, the heat shut off. When I woke up shivering, it came back on.
Re: Power surge? Never heard of it. I have heard of people having fans and TVs go on and off from neighbor's remotes though. And certain wifi signals will activate PLC or RF switches. Whenever I would use Apple Airport Express to stream music to my stereo one of my X-10 controlled lights would turn on.

Re: Power surge? We have a television that turns on every time we have a power interruption, does that count?
Power surge? Anyone ever have a power surge or over voltage cause an appliance to TURN ON?
