ABSTRACT:
An electrical device for installation within a building is described. Accordingly, the device may comprise a mounting arrangement configured to mount the device within the building. A location module is provided to monitor a location of the device within the building and a power monitor is provided to monitor power consumption of an electrical appliance connectable to the device. The device further includes a communication module configured to interface the electrical device to a communications network and to communicate the location and the power consumption via the communications network. In an example embodiment, the communications network is connectable to a system controller that is operable to communicate with a plurality of the electrical devices to control operation of the electrical devices. The device and the system controller may form part of a building management system.
