Systems and methods are described herein for provisioning power to a power consumption device in a depowered state (e.g., a device not consuming current such as standby current). Aspects discussed herein relate to controlling a detector, switches, and/or an outlet such as a smart outlet. In some examples, a message may be sent to a powered controller. The controller may be configured to send a signal to activate a detector, which may be sent via a wireless signal and/or via generation of a resonance frequency via a tuned circuit (e.g., via resonant coupling). The signal may include “bootstrap” power that enables the detector to activate a switch to receive power from an additional or alternative power source. The detector may further receive and decode the signal to operate one or more outlets or switches, gates, relays, thyristors, transistors, or so on to provide power to a power-consumption device.
