1. A method for remotely controlling a supply of power to a plurality of electrical appliances, wherein the plurality of electrical appliances are connectable to a main power supply via one or more sockets, the method comprising:
in response to attaching a plug of a first electrical appliance of the plurality of electrical appliances to a first socket of the one or more sockets, a control system:
activating a transceiver located at one of the first socket and the plug of the first electrical appliance;stimulating, via the transceiver, a tag located at a next one of the first socket and the plug of the first electrical appliance, wherein the tag is in close proximity to the transceiver and is capable of receiving communication from the transceiver; andinterrogating, via the transceiver, the tag to determine a unique identifier of the tag, wherein the unique identifier enables the control system to control whether power is applied to the transceiver; the control system receiving, from the transceiver, the unique identifier of the tag; in response to the control system receiving an instruction to disconnect power to the first electrical appliance, deactivating the transceiver, wherein deactivation of the transceiver deactivates the plug of the first electrical appliance at the first socket and disconnects the main power supply from the first electrical appliance; and in response to the control system receiving an instruction to connect power to the first electrical appliance, activating the transceiver, wherein activation of the transceiver stimulates the tag and activates the plug of the first electrical appliance at the first socket and connects the main power supply to the first electrical appliance. |
