Methods, apparatuses and systems of a controllable receptacle are disclosed. One apparatus includes at least one switch, wherein the at least one switch connects an input power connection received by the controllable receptacle to a receptacle output when the at least one switch is closed, a motion sensor for sensing motion, a transceiver for communicating with other devices, and a controller. For an embodiment, the controller operative to determine an association of the controllable receptacle with a motion group, wherein the motion group comprises a plurality of devices, wherein the controller communicates with at least one of the plurality of devices, determines that the controllable receptacle is to be activated based on the motion sensor sensing motion or a motion sensor of a device of the motion group sensing motion, and closes the at least one switch when determining the controllable receptacle is to be activated.
