    摘要: An apparatus is provided that includes first, second and third switches, the first and second of which are in line between an appliance and terminals of the appliance that are connectable to a power source. The first switched is configured to open and close based on closing and opening of a door of the appliance, and the second switch is configured to open and close based on the mode of the appliance. Thus, the appliance may be connected to the power source when the first switch or the second switch is closed, and disconnected from the power source when both the first switch and the second switch are open. The third switch, which includes a sensor, is configured to control the second switch to close upon actuation in response to a detection proximate the appliance, where actuation of the third switch may cause the appliance to enter an operational mode.

    摘要: According to embodiments of the present invention, an appliance may include operating assemblies configured to employ utilities to perform one or more functions. A controller may be configured to control the operating assemblies. The controller may include a network interface and a user interface. The network interface may communicate utility data relating to the utilities with a network. The user interface may be configured to receive user inputs and output status indicators relating to the utility data received from the network. The utility data may include a utility demand level and a utility unit price. Further, a system is also provided that may include the appliance, an additional appliance, and an intermediate controller. The intermediate controller may be configured to communicate with the network and direct modification of the functions performed by the appliance and the additional appliance based on the utility data. Related methods are also provided.
