APPLIANCE MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH CONNECTIVITY AND COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

摘要

A method and system for monitoring the proximity of a user to an appliance is provided. A motion detector is activated. The motion detector detects when a user is within a predetermined proximity of an appliance. A timer is initiated when the motion detector does not detect that the user is within the predetermined proximity to the appliance. It is determined from the timer whether a first predetermined period of time has elapsed since the motion detector determined that the user was not within the predetermined proximity of said appliance. A warning alert is sent to the user indicating that the first predetermined period of time has been exceeded since the motion detector determined that the user was not within the predetermined proximity of the appliance.
