Abstract
A presence detection and control system ( ) outputs an identification code related to an individual, a motion signal in response to detecting motion in a field of view and/or a temperature signal related to an ambient temperature. A main control device ( ) generates at least one wireless control signal based on the ID code, the motion signal and/or the temperature signal. A smart outlet ( ) or a phone interrupter/dialer ( ) can receive at least one wireless control signal. If the smart outlet ( ) is responsive to the one wireless control signal, it connects an energy source to an energy consumption device ( or ). If the phone interrupter/dialer ( ) is responsive to the one wireless control signal, it conveys a message to a conductive communication line. This message is received by a central controller ( ) which can log the message and/or a time the message was received.
