Control device and control system for electrical equipment

Abstract

Convenience of a control device for controlling an operating state of electrical equipment is enhanced. To achieve the enhanced convenience, a control device for controlling an operating state of electrical equipment includes a receiver, a tough-panel liquid crystal display, and an operation controller. The receiver receives power demand information transmitted from a broadcast station. The liquid crystal display receives user setting information indicating settings for operation of the electrical equipment. The operation controller controls the operating state of the electrical equipment in order to adjust power consumption of the electrical equipment, based on the power demand information received by the receiver and the user setting information input to the liquid crystal display.
