My XBOX ONE keeps turning on by itself

I wanted to reply to a post labeled with this title but I couldn't find a way to do so, maybe cause it was 3 years old. So I'm going to post an idea and share it out to the community in hopes it helps them.

My Xbox One had turned itself on many times in the past 2 years or so, I think it may have started when I connected some external HDDs to my Xbox for additional storage. Although that is just a theory that the HDDs might have something to do with it. My
Xbox is also set to be fully turned off and no background updates and there is no other devices connected to it, except for the controllers of course, also there are no other people in my place, I even went so far as to remove the batteries from the controllers
to confirm they were not the culprit.

My solution is simple, yet very effective, buy a power / surge protector bar that has a switch which can turn the whole power bar on and off, ideally you want to have a power bar that has lights to indicate if it is on or off.

Next plug your Xbox in to that power bar which is dedicated to the use of your Xbox, last but not least turn the power bar on when you want to play your Xbox games, then shutdown your Xbox via the software interface when you are done playing your games and
when the Xbox is fully off, turn off the power bar to kill all power to the Xbox, that way it cannot power on since the power bar will give no power to the Xbox.

I hope this helps someone out there. Cheers
