  • Publication number: 20220144122
    Abstract: A system for adaptive polling to minimize energy usage while also providing a reasonable quality of service. The system includes one or more processors and a memory device that stores instructions thereon that when executed by the one or more processors, causes one or more of the one or more processors to execute the following operations: receive adaptive polling input information that includes frequency adjustment factors; calculates a polling frequency to poll an electrical device using frequency adjustment factors that include current state of the electrical device, length of time the electrical device has been in the current state, time of day, user scheduled leave time of the electrical device, demand response events; and send polling requests to the electrical device according to the calculated polling frequency.
