The invention discloses a method of managing resource consumption of devices. The method includes identifying one or more electrical devices at a location, such as a residence. Characteristics of electrical power lines at the location are measured and use of at least one specific one of the electrical devices is detected. Device-specific notifications relating to the electrical devices may be provided to a person at the location based on the measurements. Recommendations regarding the electrical devices and/or comparisons with users at other locations may also be provided to the person based on the measurements. Electrical devices may be controlled in response to the notifications. 本发明公开了种用于管理装置的资源消耗的方法。所述方法包括：识别诸如住宅的场所处的个或更多个电气装置。测量所述场所处的电力线的特性，并检测所述电气装置中的至少个特定电气装置的使用。可以基于测量结果向所述场所处的人员提供装置特定的通知。还可以基于所述测量结果向所述人员提供关于所述电气装置的推荐和/或与其它位置的用户的比较。可以响应于所述对所述电气装置进行控制。
