I had a huge electrical storm come through yesterday and although I didn't hear any lightning close by, a few of my breakers tripped and some of my gfi's. For the first time I heard this blue outlet buzzing with an alarm noise (even while unplugged). Turns out it has a built in alarm and a screw (white dot thing in middle)
I undid the screw and cycled the breaker at the main panel just in case. Redid the middle screw and alarm is still sounding. Nothing else runs off this circuit. It's a dedicated circuit for networking.
Google tells me it is a surge protection outlet. Is there a way to reset it? or do I need to replace it? Why cant you use a GFI instead? I think it came with the network box (i don't recall buying it separately)
Did someone really design a one time use surge protector outlet? Seems absurd.
