Two questions: for regular use, do you want the unit to respond to an external command, or do you want to physically turn it on? If all users are going to be absent for many days, on a trip for instance, do you wish to physically disconnect your system from the electrical system and from any other external wiring, such as satellite, cable, or telephone lines, so that in the event of some freakish power event or lightning strike your system components are isolated (unless they are directly hit)?

Of course when we are away I disconnect everything from the mains, including all electronic equipment , TVs etc.

I was specifically asking about overnight. For example when we hit the hay I have been powering down the entire rack of equipment (via the Monster Conditioner button) and powering it on in the morning. Thoughts? I'm not sure it matters, just wondering.
