Abstract

An appliance management device can record or store sets of appliance control signals output by remote control units associated with distinct appliances. Such appliances can differ in appliance type and/or manufacturer. Distinct appliance control signal sets stored within the appliance management device can be identical, similar, or dissimilar with respect to type, format, or communication protocol. In response to detecting a lack of human activity, the appliance management device automatically outputs stored control signal sets to transition a group of appliances to an overall reduced power state. While in an alert mode, in response to detecting an alert condition indicating the presence of human activity or a threshold condition (e.g., a threshold temperature), the appliance management device automatically sends a corresponding SMS message or an e-mail message. Appliance management devices can form an appliance management device network in which status information or notifications can be communicated between appliance management devices.
