Power load pattern monitoring system
First Claim
1. A power load pattern monitoring system for external monitoring of electrical consumption within a building structure, the system comprising:
- a sensor sensing the amount of electrical consumption through an electrical conduit supplying electricity to the building structure, wherein said sensor is adapted for mounting to the electrical conduit at a remote location remote from the building structure, means for sampling the amount of electrical consumption sensed by said sensor to produce corresponding sample data, at least one processor comprising;
(a) means for analyzing said sample data to detect a load pattern indicating an electrical consumption consistent with a plant growing operation; and
, (b) means for signalling a user when said load pattern is detected.
