Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for sensing an event occurring from a target device in a smart plug installed on a supply route of power applied to the target device. To this end, a power measurement unit which comprises the smart plug measures power supplied to the target device, and an event determination unit predicts an event occurring from the target device on the basis of a power signal characteristic of the supplied power measured by the power measurement unit. The power signal characteristic indicates a variation characteristic of the supplied power caused by the occurrence of the event on the basis of supplied power before the event occurs from the target device.
