Abstract: |
A technology is described for applying automation rules to network addressable power sockets. An example method may include receiving a power socket identifier for a network addressable power socket that detects an electrical device connected to the network addressable power socket via a wireless communication protocol. Receiving a unique identifier for the electrical device detected by the network addressable power socket. The network addressable power socket and the electrical device may be identified using the power socket identifier and the unique identifier, and an automation rule may be obtained that determines the functionality of the electrical device. The automation rule may then be applied to either of the network addressable power socket or the electrical device. |
