  • Communication System for Power Outlet Control Devices
    Publication number: 20190204795
    Abstract: A system selectively activates and deactivates delivery of power to a device by a power outlet using a pulsed sequence of on commands delivered at randomized intervals. The on commands may be sent by any number of sending devices. So long as a receiving device continues to receive on signals from any sending device on a selected channel, the receiving device will remain switched on and deliver power from the power outlet to a connected load. If the receiving device either (a) receives an off signal on the selected channel, or (b) stops receiving on signals on the selected channel for a timeout period, the receiving device will switch off and stop delivering power to the connected load.
