Abstract: A power strip adapted to support power status reporting as well as the issuing of commands to control functional operations of the appliances. The power strip may receive a command from a remote control (for example transmitted via radio frequency or wired connection) and, in turn, issue a corresponding command (for example transmitted via infrared) to one or more appliances to cause the one or more appliances to perform a functional operation.

Abstract: A controlling device (10) having programming which ensures an appliance (12) will be placed into a desired power state. The controlling device (10) transmits a query message to a power monitor (14) associated with the appliance (12) to obtain the current power state of the appliance (12). If the current power state does not correspond to the desired power state, the controlling device (10) transmits a command to the appliance (12) to effect a change in the current power state of the appliance (12).

Abstract: A system and method for setting up a control device to command the operations of an appliance. The system includes a power monitor that is associated with the appliance that includes circuitry for determining a current power state of the appliance. The control device has a library of command code sets and includes programming for transmitting to the appliance a command code from one of the command code sets and for receiving from the power monitor a signal which indicates that the transmitted command code caused a change in the current power state of the appliance. If such a signal is received, the programming functions to select the command code set which includes the command code to which the appliance responded by changing power states as the command code set for use in commanding the operations of the appliance.
