Abstract
Embodiments are directed to apparatuses used with a computer-implemented method for controlling power flow to an electronic device, including: receiving a transmission from a service processing device, the transmission to trigger an open switch between the electronic device and a power supply; and causing an open switch to occur through use of an interlock mechanism. Embodiments provide a temperature-driven interlock mechanism and moisture-driven interlock mechanism.
