OPERATIONALIZING A POWER USAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A monitoring system, comprising:
- a hub;
monitoring devices that measure energy consumption of electrical devices, each monitoring device having an identification number and being communicatively coupled with the hub, and each monitoring device communicating energy consumption information for the electrical devices to the hub; and
a remote server communicatively coupled with the hub for receiving the energy consumption information for the monitoring devices from the hub.

Abstract
A monitoring system capable of being operationalized. Power consumption is electrical devices is monitored by the use of new and innovative consumption power monitoring device in accordance with the present invention. Power consumption information is collected by an intelligent power hub that is communicatively coupled to a remote server that presents overall power usage displays. A method of operationalizing a power usage monitoring system comprises powering up an energy pump device when the energy pump device is plugged into a first power socket, setting the energy pump device automatically to a SET mode to acquire new monitoring devices, and discovering the presence of a power consumption monitoring device.
