Patent attributes
A smart circuit breaker may provide a smart-circuit-breaker power monitoring signal that includes information about power consumption of devices connected to the smart circuit breaker. The smart-circuit-breaker power monitoring signal may be used in conjunction with power monitoring signals from the electrical mains of the building for providing information about the operation of devices in the building. For example, the power monitoring signals may be used to (i) determine the main of the house that provides power to the smart circuit breaker, (ii) identify devices receiving power from the smart circuit breaker, (iii) improve the accuracy of identifying device state changes, and (iv) train mathematical models for identifying devices and device state changes.
