Abstract
Power switching devices deliver power to at least one powered device and may command, control and/or monitor the powered device(s). The power switching devices may further bridge communications between remote devices, and for wireless devices uses wireless communication, such as, but not limited to, radio frequency (RF), Bluetooth, light, and sound frequencies, and Wi-Fi, wired and wireless internet, the cloud, and personal computing devices. Systems utilize such power switching devices for monitoring, command and/or control of the remote or powered devices, integration of information into data management applications, data storage, putting into place threshold alarms, monitoring available variables, functions and data, and associating events with time.
