SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY CONTROLLING ELECTRICAL OUTLETS USING POWER PROFILING

摘要

A system for selectively controlling electrical outlets using power profiling is disclosed. There is a plurality of electrical outlets that each comprises a power socket (124) capable of receiving a plug (102) , an outlet identification (116) and a switch that when in a first position no power is available at the power socket, and when the switch is in a second position power is available at the power socket. A controller (222) is in electronic communication with the plurality of electrical outlets. The controller includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. The controller also includes power profiles (1020) and operates to receive data from an electrical outlet of the plurality of electrical outlets. A device or class of device is identified based on the received data. A power profile is identified based on the received data. Action is taken based on the power prof ile .
