<p>A method for controlling electricity usage in at least one building through a jack device to a power consuming device includes passing electric power from a powerline and through the jack device to the power consuming device, sensing characteristics of electricity being consumed by the power consuming device using the jack device, sending messages from the jack device about the characteristics of the electricity being consumed, and receiving messages to control the passing of the electric power through the jack device to the power consuming device. The jack device may use a pulse based protocol in sending the messages and receiving the messages through the powerline.</p> |
