Claim Text:
1. A method for performing an operation related to controlling one or more energy consuming devices, the method comprising: monitoring sensor data captured by sensors that sense attributes at multiple, different properties associated with a user; monitoring status of energy consuming devices associated with the multiple, different properties associated with the user; analyzing the monitored sensor data and the monitored status of energy consuming devices with respect to a set of one or more rules; and performing, using at least one processor, an operation related to controlling at least one energy consuming device that is associated with at least of the multiple, different properties based on the analysis of the monitored sensor data and the monitored status of energy consuming devices with respect to the set of one or more rules, wherein monitoring sensor data captured by sensors that sense attributes at multiple, different properties associated with the user comprises monitoring first sensor data captured by sensors that sense attributes at a first property associated with the user and monitoring second sensor data captured by sensors that sense attributes at a second property associated with the user; wherein monitoring status of energy consuming devices associated with the multiple, different properties associated with the user comprises monitoring first status of energy consuming devices associated with the first property associated with the user and monitoring second status of energy consuming devices associated with the second property associated with the user; and wherein analyzing the monitored sensor data and the monitored status of energy consuming devices with respect to the set of one or more rules comprises analyzing the first sensor data, the second sensor data, the first status of energy consuming devices, and the second status of energy consuming devices with respect to the set of one or more rules.
