Abstract: A movable device and a method for monitoring an operation cycle of an appliance are disclosed. For example, the movable device includes an operational detection component to receive operational feedback of the appliance, wherein the operational feedback comprises a vibration of the appliance and an audible signal of the appliance, a wireless interface to establish a wireless connection with a mobile endpoint device, a processor in communication with the operational detection component to determine when the appliance is in the operation cycle based upon the operational feedback and to generate a notification message that is sent to the mobile endpoint device when the appliance has completed the operation cycle, a housing enclosing the operation detection component, the wireless interface and the processor and a connection component coupled to the housing to removably couple the apparatus to the appliance.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle responds to acoustic inputs. A microphone integrated into the electrical receptacle generates electrical signals in response to the acoustic inputs. A network interface integrated into the electrical receptacle provides addressable communication with controllers, computers, and other networked devices. The electrical receptacle may thus be installed or retrofitted into the electrical wiring of all homes and businesses. Users may thus speak voice commands, which are received by the electrical receptacle and sent for voice control of appliances and other automation tasks.
