I may be wrong but using a remotely controlled power point wouldn't work too well.
To quote Peter's example, if power were to be applied to a modern washing machine all that would happen is that the control panel would become active but the wash cycle wouldn't start until the various buttons were pressed.
You'd need one of the machines that have the old style rotary switches to set the cycle etc, so that as soon as power were applied the cycle would start automatically.
