Abstract (en)
A line-in power (12) is connectable to the disclosed outlet housing (11) similar to any known power outlet. This provided power is used to drive an AC/DC converter to create a DC bus internal to the outlet housing (11). This DC bus powers the electronics, including, for example, a wireless transceiver (20) incorporated within the outlet housing (11). In at least one instance, the wireless transceiver (20) will receive a command from another wireless device to turn power ON or OFF to the local outlet (14) and the downstream (e.g. daisychained, etc.) outlets (15a,15b...,15n). These outlets (15a,15b...,15n) can be wired to the output terminations (push-in and/or other) on the back of the local outlet (14) and/or outlet housing (11), or may be connected through any other suitable electrical connection
