I have asked about this once before,but I thought I would check for any additional insight?? Anyone have any luck getting status on this box? The ones we have been seeing do not have a functioning switched outlet. In addition it's video output seems on all whether the power is on or off. We use Intellicontrols and can use voltage,video etc. for status.Light sensors are a last resort,but difficult at best.
Thanks in advance

Err, the menu lets you select the outlet function - always on, or switched. Or is there a problem with the box beyond that?

Do you need it for discreet control? If so there is a work around, using the button will get you to an always on/off state. There are soem tricks to it, test it a bit. It does work though.

YEah the set power outlet to swtiched and use a powersupply to a sensor.

Unfortunately the current models we are seeing from Comcast in Minnesota do not have functioning switched outlets. The software still shows a "switched" and "unswitched" setting for the outlet,but it is always on no matter where you set it.

That sucks!
