Abstract: A method for associating a mobile device with an appliance includes capturing an image of a graphic identifier on the appliance with a camera of the mobile device, identifying a credential within the image of the graphic identifier, and establishing a wireless connection between the appliance and the mobile device if the credential from the step of identifying is correct.

Abstract: A method and device for addressing between a first device on a first network and a second device on a second network using a network bridging device, the first and second networks being physically different networks. The method includes discovering the first device on the first network, creating a virtual endpoint for the first device, storing the created virtual endpoint in a network translation table, detecting, in the network bridging device, a communication packet sent from the second network, determining if an endpoint identified in the communication packet is stored as a virtual endpoint in the network translation table, and, if so, identifying an address of the device on the second network associated with the virtual endpoint stored in the network address translation table, and transmitting the communication packet to the device address on the second network.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided for monitoring the power consumption of a particular energy consuming device of a plurality of energy consuming device devices and particular components thereof in real time. An energy management system can enable components of a device within a home network to power to different operational modes in order to determine different power consumption levels. The system can sort out anomalies and extract them from a power consumption profile created.
