A system for performing at least one supplemental service relative to a user in a volume of space. The system can include a electrical device disposed at a location in the volume of space and including a receiver, a supplemental service module, and a controller, where the receiver has a communication range, where the controller controls the timer, and where the electrical device performs a primary function. The system can also include a user device of a user disposed within the communication range, where the user device includes a beacon that sends at least one communication signal. The controller, upon the receiver receiving the at least one communication signal, can initiate, using the at least one supplemental service module, the at least one supplemental service that is unrelated to the primary function of the electrical device.
