Abstract

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a system for controlling a power load. In one exemplary embodiment, the system includes a processor capable of receiving a signal from a sensor, where the signal is related to an ambient temperature of the sensor. The processor is further capable of generating a control signal. The system further includes an 802.11X-based transceiver that is operatively connected to the processor and capable of communicating data received from an antenna to the processor. The system further includes a switch that is operatively connected to the processor, receiving the control signal from the processor, for switch controlling activation of a power load.
