1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring device electrical usage within a property, the property populated with a hardware controller in communication with a plurality of devices, the method comprising:

  • retrieving, by the hardware controller, (i) electrical usage data from a device disposed within the property and powered by a first power supply, and (ii) audio data corresponding to operation of the device;

    analyzing, by one or more processors of the hardware controller, the electrical usage data in combination with the audio data to determine that the device is not receiving any power from the first power supply;

    in response to determining that the device is not receiving any power from the first power supply, generating, by the one or more processors, a command to re-route a supply of power for the device from the first power supply to a second power supply; and

    sending the command to the hardware controller, wherein the hardware controller causes the supply of power for the device to be re-routed from the first power supply to the second power supply.
