HD200 turns itself on by itself - no idea why...

[tvmaster2]

I have on HD200 which seems to be turning itself on.
That shouldn't be possible, should it?
Unit is located in an isolated room, with no direct IR signals which can reach it.
Any idea why this may be happening?
Windows 10 64bit Sage installation

Maybe a bad power supply or intermittent power to the unit? I seem to recall every time my power goes out and comes back on, that all my extenders default to on.

I'll check the power bar, but no other devices are having troubles. And if I have a spare PS, I'll swap it out. I was more concerned I triggered a hidden menu item in Device Setup that's responsible

Power supply's seem good.

But now, BOTH my HD200 AND HD300 are randomly turning themselves "on".

Any more ideas - anyone else? This seems to have started with my new, W10 64bit installation.

If a "switch on" command is being sent to the media extenders somehow, it's likely coming from the SageTV software, as opposed to Windows 10, correct?

They do default to the 'on' state when power is applied. Maybe you're having brownouts or other power fluctuations that are causing them to reboot.

Thanks - good to see you're still around too. I'll keep an eye out for that, but at the moment, they are the only devices behaving this way. The only thing that's changed in the house, electrically, is a new furnace has been installed. I'll observe their behaviour when it kicks in, as it makes quite a thud.
Otherwise - it's a mystery for sure, since neither are RF controlled.

Any reason why you don't want them to just stay on?

Finally figured it out - whenever I reboot my W10 server, it would appear a “turn-on” (or maybe a change-state command) is sent to all my media extenders.
Don’t recall that happening before. Any ideas?

Do you have SageTCP Server installed? Is it a bad thing that the extenders are turned on. I doubt that the power consumption is any different between on and standby. As long as you have enough Java heap and set up any remote controls to handle this you should be good to have them all powered on all the time.
