1. A method comprising:
- determining a schedule of operation for at least a first device;
determining one or more power requirements associated with operating the first device;
shifting the first device from a shut-off state to a first operational state at a first scheduled time, wherein the first scheduled time is determined according to the schedule of operation; and
transmitting a first amount of wireless energy from a wireless charger to the first device at the first scheduled time, wherein the first amount of wireless energy is based, at least in part, on the power requirement associated with operating the first device at the first operational state.

Abstract
A wireless charger can determine a power requirement associated with operating at least a first device at a scheduled time. The wireless charger can determine a power emission level for the wireless charger based, at least in part, on the power requirement, such that the power emission level will provide sufficient wireless energy to satisfy the power requirement. The wireless charger can transmit wireless energy at the power emission level to cause the device to operate.
