A system for providing information about electrical devices in a residence includes a power measurement device, an electrical device identification component, and a notification component. The power measurement device measures characteristics of electrical power in one or more electrical power lines in the residence. Based on the measured electrical characteristics, the electrical device identification component determines electrical signatures specific electrical devices at the residence that are receiving electrical power through the electrical power lines, associates the electrical devices with a device type, and groups the electrical devices into zones of the residence. Based on power consumption by the specific electrical devices, the notification component determines events or conditions associated with specific electrical devices (for example abnormal usage, device failure, excess power consumption). Notifications relating to at least one of the events or conditions associated with the specific electrical devices are provided to a person associated with the residence (for example, homeowner or other resident).
