  • Patent number: 8494686
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method consisting of one or more networked modular sensors Nodes and a data processing/display system for use to monitor and control electrical appliance loads at a premises. Together, the modular sensor Nodes and the processing/display system to detect, process, manage and present both real-time and historic electrical energy usage data for the premises, thus allowing the intelligent management of energy usage by a user of the system through both manual and automated usage controls. The sensor Nodes are integrated into the standardized form-factor (i.e., the standard physical configuration) of components typical of household and commercial electrical interfaces, such as circuit breakers, wall outlets, light switches, plug ends, power strips, etc.
