  • Monitoring power status
    Patent number: 10539597
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on storage devices, for detecting the power status of an electrical device. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a device that comprises a radio transmitter and a sensor configured to detect the power status of the device. The power status may include information that is indicative of whether the device is powered on or off. The apparatus may also include a processor and a data storage device storing a device identifier associated with the device, and instructions that are operable, when executed by a processor, to cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may include receiving data indicating the power status of the device detected by the sensor, receiving a request for the power status of the device, and transmitting, using the radio transmitter, the device identifier associated with the device and the power status associated with the device.
