Abstract

See full text

Embodiments for monitoring one or more utilities consumed within a monitored area including detecting an amount of a first utility consumed by a load associated with a device and an amount of a second utility consumed by a load associated with the device. The identity of the device is determined based on the amount of the first and second utility consumed. A utility monitoring method is disclosed that includes measuring an amount of a utility consumed by a first device at a first time and an amount of a utility consumed by a second device at a second time. The identity of the first device is determined based on the measured consumption of the first and second devices at the first and second time. In certain implementations, the electricity meter uses an effective variance analysis of the conductance waveform on an electrical circuit to identify specific appliances.
