Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
activating a first subset of sensors including one or more power sensors, and a second subset of sensors including one or more weight monitoring sensors;
establishing data links to the first and second subsets of sensors with a smart speaker computing device including a housing, a radio, and a memory including executable instructions and a processor;
causing the smart speaker computing device to implement voice-controlled commands;
predicting a type of appliance or device to which a sensor in a subset of sensors is coupled, the subset of sensors including the first and second subsets of sensors;
receiving data characterizing usage of a consumable to identify a rate of consumption of a consumable as a function of one or more patterns of usage associated with power consumption of the type of appliance or device;
correlating data representing the rate of consumption to at least one pattern of usage associated with the subset of the sensor data to form a value representing an amount of consumption;
generating data representing a request to replenish an inventory of the consumable based on the amount of consumption as a function of the power consumption the type of appliance or device, the data representing the request to replenish being transformed from at least one of the voice-controlled-commands, the at least one of the voice controlled-commands being received in response to an audio request to replenish the consumable, the audio request being automatically generated by and rendered audible by the smart speaker computing device when the amount of the consumable matches a threshold value; and
transmit the data representing the request to replenish the inventory to one or more merchant computing devices.
