Boom! You should have power! That is how to activate a cable outlet.Alexa is a fantastic device for having voice control over your devices. Find the bundle of cords, and plug in one of the loose cords into an output plug. So, no, you don’t have to pay your cable provider to activate an outlet. Magically, I got the internet box to light up the winning combo! By some miracle, it worked! I tried the other un-attached cable, with low hopes.
