AN APPARATUS, SYSTEM, & METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES AND REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION THROUGH LOAD CONTROL AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT

An apparatus, system, and method for controlling household appliances and reducing energy consumption through load control and demand management which includes a PCB module adapted to determine an appliance's power status and power consumption and demand, and which includes a solid state industrial grade primary TRIAC semiconductor, a microcontroller with WiFi capabilities, a number of optotriacs, a current sensor, and three PCB-integrated terminal pads. A PCB module is electrically attached to each respective chosen household appliance, wirelessly connects with each other PCB module in use, and then measures and controls the power consumption of each connected appliance using load control in order to more efficiently track, manage, and conserve household energy use and costs during peak and off-peak household energy use hours, through demand management, automatically and with no user engagement or impact.
