Abstract
A dwelling power management system includes a smart power integrated node located at a dwelling and configured to transit information to and receive information from a remote server arrangement. The smart power integrated node selectively controls power applied to dwelling electrical power hardware components according to a recommended operating procedure (ROP). The system also includes a utility switch connected to the smart power integrated node, the utility switch configured to control distribution of electrical power received from a dwelling external power source. The smart power integrated node transmits dwelling power usage information and dwelling user preferences to the remote server arrangement that evaluates relevant information including dwelling power usage information and dwelling user preferences and dwelling external factors to develop an optimized ROP. The smart power integrated node operates according to the optimized ROP.
