Abstract:

A power distribution and control system has a wall mounted controller or a transportable controller (e.g., a Smart Phone or wireless Tablet) configured to resemble a solid-state household thermostat having a touchscreen display. The user interface controller provides control options to the user who can selectively enable selected circuit breakers or power strips on a schedule selected by the user. The controller is programmed to control a plurality of identified User Devices such as televisions or other solid-state or computer controlled instruments or appliances, which typically consume power even when in “standby” mode and not in use. The User Devices will be selectively connected to the mains supply only when selectively enabled by Controller inputs, thereby saving valuable energy because the User Devices will not consume any power when not enabled.
