Abstract
In one example, a method includes receiving, at a first time by a power switching device via an input connector of the power switching device, a signal that causes the power switching device to output a power signal to a load via an output connector of the power switching device. In this example, a voltage level of the power signal satisfies a voltage threshold at a second time that is later than the first time. In this example, the method also includes communicating, by the power switching device and during a time period between the first time and the second time, with an external device via the input connector.
