1. A method for monitoring power consumption of an appliance within a space, the method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more computing devices, a first set of data indicative of power consumption of the appliance during an interval of time from a power meter circuit associated with an in-wall device configured to couple the appliance to a power source;
determining, by one or more computing devices, a profile indicative of power consumption of the appliance based, at least in part, on the first set of data;
subsequent to determining the profile, obtaining, by the one or more computing devices, a second set of data indicative of power consumption of the appliance from the power meter circuit associated with the in-wall device;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether power consumption of the appliance deviates from the profile based, at least in part, on the second set of data;
responsive to determining power consumption of the appliance deviates from the profile, determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether a person is present within the space;
responsive to determining power consumption of the appliance deviates from the profile and responsive to determining the person is present within the space, providing, by the one or more computing devices, a notification indicative of power consumption of the appliance deviating from the profile;
wherein determining whether the person is present within the space includes obtaining, by the one or more computing devices, a third set of data indicative of presence of the person within the space via a power switch configured to control power delivery to one or more light sources configured to illuminate the space and determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether the person is present within the space based, at least in part, on the third set of data.
