MANAGING RESOURCE CONSUMPTION WITH DEVICE-SPECIFIC NOTIFICATIONS

摘要

A method of managing resource consumption of devices includes identifying one or more electrical devices at a location, such as a residence. Characteristics of electrical power lines at the location are measured and use of at least one specific one of the electrical devices is detected. Device-specific notifications relating to the electrical devices may be provided to a person at the location based on the measurements. Recommendations regarding the electrical devices and/or comparisons with users at other locations may also be provided to the person based on the measurements. Electrical devices may be controlled in response to the notifications.
