Remote controls will not work after smart meter installed by Central Maine Power

It's inside the SJB - smart junction box ! It's non - serviceable . Is the air bag light lit on the instrument cluster ?Do you know what a smart junction box is ? It's a electronic module with a fuse / relay box built into it .

Module Controlled Functions The smart junction box (SJB) is the multifunction electronic control module on this vehicle. The SJB is a combination of a multifunction control module and a central junction box (CJB). SJB functions control multiple systems, which include:

• auto locks
• exterior lamps
• illuminated entry and interior lamps
• perimeter anti-theft alarm
• power door locks
• rear windshield wiper
• remote keyless entry (RKE) keypad
• RKE system
• tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

The SJB is located under the front passenger side floor console. For removal information, refer to Smart Junction Box (SJB) in this section. For additional information on the interior lamps and illuminated entry, refer to Section 417-02 . For additional information on the exterior lighting, refer to Section 417-01 . For additional information on the power door locks, the RKE keypad, and the RKE system, refer to Section 501-14 . For additional information on the rear windshield wiper, refer to Section 501-16 . For additional information on the perimeter anti-theft, refer to Section 419-01A . For additional information on the climate control system, refer to Section 412-00A (Escape, Mariner), or Section 412-00B (Escape Hybrid). For additional information on the warning chimes, refer to Section 413-09 . For additiona information on the TPMS, refer to Section 204-04 .

Try turning the power off to the heater then turn back on this may reset the heater .

vizio remotes are junk. I have 70 inch led smart tv and both remotes are junk. I have no idea what brand is better to replace it with.,

Whether the power company is allowed to monitor your power usage, yes of course they are. They are selling you a product and in order to do that they must monitor how much of their product you are using and therefore buying from them. I would suggest going to your power company and ask for a copy of your contract.

As for the question of selling or even lending the info to government agencies, that would be another question answered by checking your contract with them.

The digital smart meter only allows them to monitor the same way they have been but remotely instead of in person. They can do it from a vehicle or relay it back to a main office but it is the same info they could get before by reading it from the globe on the outside installation that was previously there. I don't see that they would need consent but would probably need to send something by way of mail to their customers that the change was taking place.

Hopefully this helps.

Replace your Batteries on your remote control sounds like the batteries are not giving enough power ,so the radio in the remote to trigger the alarm to disable the alarm is not strong enough.Its like the power of the batteries show light but its not strong enough.

Power off, and unplug from the wall. leave off for a few minutes, put new batteries in remote control. Power unit back on, if problem continues, check remote if remote is working, if you have a smart phone, look and the RF sender on the remote through your camera on smart phone, you can see a change in light on the sender if the remote is working.

You can't figure out thing's without knowing how there work , what controls them . In this case a control module .
Principles of Operation

Power Door Locks
The central security module controls the power door lock and keyless entry system. The lock and unlock operation is carried out by supplying ground to the central security module from the door lock control switch. The normal path of the actuators is to ground through the central security module. The door lock control switch will lock and unlock all doors by grounding the appropriate circuit to the central security module. The central security module then supplies power to the appropriate common actuator circuit to lock or unlock all doors.
Plus we don't guess , we test the electrical circuits with a DVOM - digital multimeter or a test light . We use a wiring diagram so we know which part of the circuits to test .

Keyless Entry
The remote transmitter sends a frequency that is received by the central security module internal antenna. Depending on the frequency received, the central security module will lock all doors or unlock the driver door. If the unlock frequency is received again within five seconds of the first unlock, the central security module will unlock all doors.
If the frequency received is for the panic button, the central security module will cycle ground to the park lamp and horn. The park lamps and horn will continue to cycle until the panic button is pressed again or the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position or 2.75 minutes elapse.
Plus we hook up a scan tool that can read codes from the control module , not a code reader for engine codes , won't work ! Need a professional scan tool .Do you know what DTC'S are ? Diagnostic trouble codes !

Seams you lack the knowledge and test equipment to tackle this type of repair . Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out.
So, without testing i couldn't even begin to suggest what mite be wrong . I would only be guessing , as would anyone on here would.

Has your remote been correctly configured to work with your TV?
I have a very similar model of remote to the one pictured, as such I remember the man in charge of connecting my satellite box "activated" the remotes ability to interface with my TV.

Try hitting any button marked "TV" and then hitting your power button.

Test the manual buttons on the DVD player itself,see if it work,like play a DVD disc?The remote is the only thing is having the problems?Yes,try website like Remotes.com to buy an new original remote.If the DVD player itself is have a problems,not worth fixing,because DVD player devices are very cheap these day.U could buy a whole new one like 40-45 dollars.
