1. A controller comprising:

  • logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in hardware, to;

    receive configuration data from a main processor circuit that specifies a first voltage level threshold and a first selected action to take to reduce electric power provided to a first component to provide a first feature in response to a voltage level of a power source falling below the first voltage level threshold;

    based on the voltage level of the power source falling below the first voltage level threshold, take the first selected action, and transmit a signal to the main processor circuit that indicates that the voltage level of the power source has fallen below the first voltage level threshold and the first selected action has been taken;

    based on the voltage level of the power source rising above the first voltage level threshold after falling below the first voltage level threshold, await a debounce period and transmit a signal to the main processor circuit that indicates that the voltage level of the power source has risen above the first voltage level threshold; and

    receive a signal from the main processor circuit to undo the first selected action.
