Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured with instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from each of a plurality of power receptacles, power usage information of an electrical device attached to the power receptacle;
generating, for each of the plurality of power receptacles, a plurality of power usage metrics of the power receptacle based on the power usage information, wherein the plurality of power usage metrics comprise a power-switch frequency of the electrical device attached to the power receptacle and power consumption of the electrical device;
feeding the plurality of power usage metrics into a machine learning model to obtain a priority of the electrical device attached to the power receptacle, wherein the priority is one of a plurality of pre-configured priorities;
receiving a power management signal from an electrical grid, wherein the power management signal comprises a broadcasted message for entering or exiting a power-saving mode; and
generating and transmitting a plurality of control signals to the plurality of power receptacles based on the power management signal, wherein the generating and transmitting comprise:
identifying a type of the electrical device;
in response to the electrical device being a light, generating the corresponding control signal as dimming or turning off the light; and
in response to the electrical device being a smart device, determining whether the smart device is installed with a driver program associated with the plurality of power receptacles, and sending a shutdown signal to the power receptacle corresponding to the electrical device for the power receptacle to initiate a shutdown process through the driver program.
