Abstract: A power control device including a remote switch box having a remote switch box having a remote safety switch and a micro-controller, and an interface box operably controlled by the micro-controller. When operated, the remote safety switch prevents unauthorized use of electrical appliances as well as: continued shutdown of electrical appliances after a power outage; regulation of power input for electrical appliances; and detached remote operation.

Abstract: The gas safety valve includes a valve that is solenoid actuated in a fashion to interrupt the flow of gas from the gas line to the stove. A remotely located switch including a key locking mechanism can be mounted at any convenient but safe location. A key activates the switch which in turn energizes the solenoid to permit gas flow to the stove. Mounting of the key locking mechanism remote from the stove is added security. An indicator light reveals whether the gas valve is open, closed or perhaps not connected to a source of electricity.
