1. A method for optimizing a transmission rate between a status sensing device and a consumption evaluation device for determining power consumption of an electrical device, the method comprising:

  • (a) setting an initial transmission rate for the status sensing device to transmit a status signal indicative of an on/off status of the electrical device to the consumption evaluation device;

    (b) receiving, at the consumption evaluation device, the status signal at the initial transmission rate;

    (c) learning at least one of consumption characteristics and consumption habits of the electrical device; and

    (d) reducing the initial transmission rate to an optimized transmission rate as the at least one of the consumption characteristics and the consumption habits of the electrical device are learned.
