SMART GENERATOR

Techniques and systems are described for power generation management. A described technique includes receiving, by a controller, a request to activate a power generator, wherein the power generator is fuel-based; receiving, by the controller, one or more sensor inputs from one or more sensors situated at or nearby the power generator; using, by the controller, the one or more sensor inputs to detect human activity around the power generator; and controlling, by the controller, an activation of the power generator in response to the request based on whether human activity is detected around the power generator.
