Extension cord

An extension cord comprising:

• a plurality of electrical conductors;
• a plug configured to electrically couple a first respective end of the plurality of electrical conductors with an electrical receptacle of a power source;
• an outlet assembly coupled with a second respective end of the plurality of electrical conductors, the outlet assembly including:
• one or more outlet receptacles configured to provide electrical power from the power source;
• a power meter configured to measure an electrical draw through the outlet assembly and to provide a user perceptible output based upon the measured electrical draw;
• a carbon monoxide monitor configured to detect an environmental carbon monoxide level proximate the outlet assembly and to provide a user perceptible indication when the detected environment carbon monoxide level exceeds a threshold;
• and
• a controller, coupled with an auxiliary power source, configured to detect a loss of power from the power source and to provide an alert indicative of the loss of power;
• wherein the power source includes a portable generator, and wherein the outlet assembly includes a carbon monoxide monitor communicatively coupled with the portable generator to shut down the portable generator when an environmental carbon monoxide level proximate the outlet assembly exceeds a threshold level.
