Abstract
Methods and systems are described for controlling a power management of a remote adapter. According to at least one embodiment, an adapter assembly for controlling a power supply includes an electrical interface arranged to receive power from a power source, a first circuit arranged to supply power to a light emitting device from the electrical interface, a second circuit arranged to supply power to a security device from the electrical interface, and a controller in communication with a wired or wireless receiver where the controller is configured to independently control a level of power of the first circuit.
Claims20
An adapter assembly, comprising:
- an electrical interface arranged to receive power from a power source;
- a first circuit arranged to supply power to a first device from the electrical interface;
- a second circuit arranged to supply power to a second device from the electrical interface, the second device being different from the first device;
- and
- a controller in communication with a wired or wireless receiver, the controller being configured to independently control a level of power of the first circuit.
A method for remotely controlling a power supply, comprising:
- providing, with an adapter assembly, a first power level to a light emitting device and a second power level to a security device;
- receiving a signal with the adapter assembly;
- and
- adjusting the first power level to the light emitting device while maintaining the second power level to the security device.
A system, comprising:
- an adapter assembly arranged to connect with a power supply;
- a first circuit arranged to direct power to a first device from the power supply;
- a second circuit arranged to direct power to a second device from the power supply;
- and
- a controller in communication with a wireless receiver where the controller is configured to independently control a level of power to the first circuit and/or the second circuit.
