CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A control device for controlling one or more electrical devices, each having a device profile including energy usage-related information of the device, comprising:
- a profile input that obtains device profiles of electrical devices to be controlled from a device-specific storage location identified by a device-specific location identifier,an identifier input that receives device-specific location identifiers and/or device identifiers usable for generating respective device-specific location identifiers,a control unit that processes obtained device profiles and generates control commands for controlling said one or more electrical devices based on the obtained device profiles, anda control output that provides said control commands.

Abstract
A control device and a corresponding control method for controlling one or more electrical devices, each having a device profile including energy usage-related information of the device. The control device includes a profile input that obtains device profiles of electrical devices to be controlled from a device-specific storage location identified by a device-specific location identifier, an identifier input that receives device-specific location identifiers and/or device identifiers usable for generating respective device-specific location identifiers, a control unit that processes obtained device profiles and generates control commands for controlling the one or more electrical devices based on the obtained device profile, and a control output that provides the control commands.
