Abstract

An energy saving device automatically disconnects (switches off) the electrical supply to an electrical device 12 when the energy saving device 10 detects that a user is not located within a presence detection zone 14. The energy saving device 10 comprises a presence detector 16 to detect the presence of a user within its detection zone 14 and a controller having a timer to provide a predetermined period of time from the detector indicating the absence of a person before disconnecting the power supply from the device 12. The device may further comprise a controller that is user programmable to configure operating parameters such as the size of the zone and the length of the delay period. The presence sensor may detect presence but not movement; and comprise a thermopile or a radio frequency identification device (RFID) an RFID transmitter/receiver and an RFID tag worn by a user. The controller and sensor can communicate wirelessly or by Ethernet and comprise a main/standby pair in which the standby unit takes over should the main unit fail. The energy saving device does not require intervention by a user who need not remember to power down a device such as a computer and its peripheral devices, which can be plugged into a multi plug socket.
