Workflow Description

1. Detect Power Consumption Change

The ATEN eco PDU detects a change in power usage that exceeds a predefined threshold.

2. Evaluate Power Usage

The system evaluates whether the power consumption is above the set threshold for notification.

3. Notify Homeowner

If the usage is high, an alert is sent to the homeowner’s device to inform them of the situation.

4. Adjust Power Delivery

The system may automatically adjust the power delivery to connected devices to optimize energy usage.

5. Log Energy Data

The system logs the energy consumption data for future reference and analysis.

Postconditions

After the capability completes, the homeowner receives a notification, and energy usage is adjusted to meet efficiency goals.

Optional Enhancements

• Integrate with smart home routines for automated control during high usage times.
• Add historical data analysis for better energy management decisions.
• Enable remote control via mobile application for on-the-go adjustments.
