In a method of updating program code in an external non-volatile memory, updated program code is received at an Application Specific Integrated Circuitry (ASIC). The updated program code is received from a host device. The updated program code is stored in a volatile memory of the ASIC. The ASIC performs operations. The updated program code is copied from the volatile memory to a non-volatile memory while performing the operations. The non-volatile memory is located external to the ASIC.

Waveform analysis is performed to identify and characterize power-consuming devices operating on a building electrical circuit. Current waveforms are measured from the building circuit with electrical devices operating thereon. The waveforms are separated into wavelets and analyzed to identify a representative wavelet model which is transmitted to a server for analysis. The server compares the representative wavelet model to a predictive model built from waveform signatures of known electrical devices operating on a circuit. When the predictive model matches the representative wavelet model, the electrical devices contributing to the representative wavelet, their operating mode(s) (e.g., 'on', 'off', &#x201c;paused&#x201d;, &#x201c;hibernating&#x201d;) and/or their performance state(s) (e.g., normal operation, deterioration, or failure modes) can be identified. This information can be communicated as feedback to the consumer to facilitate more efficient and more cost-effective energy usage.
