Wireless power control, metrics and management

摘要

A device (200) for linking a personal controller (10) to a smartmeter (300) and a home automation device (24) which includes a wireless communications module (202) configurable to communicate with the personal controller selectively using peer-to-peer and non-peer-to-peer communications protocols. The device also includes a local network communications module (206) operable for communication with the smartmeter and the home automation device. The device is adapted to report energy usage without locally storing the energy usage data.
