Abstract: A method for maintaining a measure of accumulated energy delivered to an appliance includes a supervisor repeatedly receiving from a first smart socket a measure of energy delivered to the appliance by the first smart socket and maintaining a measure of accumulated energy delivered to the appliance. When the first smart socket fails and is replaced, the method includes repeatedly receiving from the second smart socket a measure of energy delivered to the appliance by the second smart socket, maintaining the measure of accumulated energy delivered to the appliance based at least in part on the measures previously received from the first smart socket and the measures repeatedly received from the second smart socket of energy delivered to the appliance by the second smart socket, and displaying the measure of accumulated energy delivered to the appliance on a dashboard.

Abstract: For each discovered smart socket, the smart socket is automatically added to a supervisor database and a predetermined set of two or more objects for the smart socket are automatically added to the supervisor database. One or more predetermined alarm extensions are automatically added to predetermined ones of the two or more objects of the smart socket in the supervisor database. One or more predetermined history extensions are automatically added to predetermined ones of the two or more objects of the smart socket in the supervisor database. Predetermined ones of the two or more objects and/or extensions of each of the discovered smart sockets are automatically mapped to a predetermined dashboard.

Abstract: Energy consumption may be reduced by tracking a measure of baseline energy over time in order to determine which of the one or more appliances have a power on mode and a power standby mode based at least in part on the measure of baseline energy delivered to each of the appliances during the baseline time period, wherein the power standby mode consumes less power than the power on mode. During subsequent operation, the supervisor identifies when an appliance is in a power standby mode, and turns off the socket receptacles of the smart sockets that corresponds to those appliances identified as being in their power standby mode.
