Under "Switching State" you define how the socket should be switched after a power outage. The configured switching state will always be restored after a power outage. Settings on the "Switch Automatically" tab will not be applied.

Example

For "Switching State" the "last state" option is selected. In addition, an automatic switching setting specifies that the socket is off from 12:00 am to 06:00 am daily.

A power outage occurs between 11:50 pm and 12:15 am. The socket is still on at 11:50 pm.
