Abstract
A power monitor may have more than one mode of operation to provide improved functionality for end users. For example, a first mode of operation may provide higher accuracy in determining information about devices but may also have higher latency in making determinations (e.g., identifying state changes of devices), and a second mode of operation may have lower accuracy but also lower latency to provide information more quickly to end users. The mode of operation of the power monitor may change depending on whether an end user is currently viewing information about devices. When a user is not viewing information about devices, the power monitor may operate in a first mode of operation (e.g., to improve accuracy), and when a user is viewing information about devices, the power monitor may operate in a second mode of operation (e.g., to provide updates more quickly).
