Abstract
A power monitoring and signal unit; said unit provided with projecting connectors at a first face and sockets for receiving like connectors in a second opposite face; said unit provided with circuitry for monitoring power flow through said unit when said projecting connectors are plugged into a mains power outlet; said unit further provided with transceiver circuitry for the transmission of data including command and control data and the reception of data including command and control data.
In a further form there is disclosed a power monitoring and signal unit in communication with a programmable sensor device; the device comprising an individual signal unit registered by an owner of said individual signal unit with a central control facility;
said individual signal unit communicating with said central control facility when and event sensor activates said individual signal unit; said central control facility executing a user-assembled schedule of predefined steps on receipt of a communication from said individual signal unit; said predefined steps configured or reconfigurable by an owner of said individual signal unit from a web site; at least some of the predefined steps provided by one or more independent parties and made available for selection on said web site; at least some predefined steps configurable or reconfigurable by said independent third parties; said method comprising permitting said independent parties to provide said steps to said central control facility via said web site; permitting said owner to register with said central control facility via said web site so as to become a registered owner; permitting said registered owner to select one or more said steps via said web site for execution by said central control facility responsive to communication received from said individual signal unit.
