I feel really stupid for asking this, but I am setting up my P4 for the first time. I plugged in my Powerbar and the status is flashing green. I then plug in my P4 and attach the PAB, but I get no power to the P4. I tried different sockets. Nothing. P4 powers on when I use a standard household outlet so I am doing something wrong with the Powerbar. Does Corona virus cause stupidity?? Maybe I am infected....

If you have a Powerbar 6E all of the outlets are switched. I'm guessing that they are all initially setup with a default condition of switched off. The status lights for each individual socket would be off.
You need to setup the Powerbar to how you want it to control your system. It also needs to be added as a PAB device through the P4.
For example, if you want the P4 plugged into the Powerbar I would set the outlet you select as "Always On" and to have an initial state of "On" upon loss of communication with the P4.

@qnguyen - did you assign the powerbar to the P4?
By default a powerbar is fail safe off which means when it loses communication to the P4 it power down the outlet.
