An apparatus comprising:

• an electronic circuit breaker comprising a power input for receiving power;
• an integrated electrical socket for transmitting the power to a connected electrical plug;
• and
• a sensor for identifying secure connection of the electrical socket to the electrical plug;
• wherein the power is transmitted to the electrical plug upon the sensor identifying said secure connection between the electrical socket and the electrical plug.

A method comprising:

• receiving an electrical plug at an electrical socket integrated with an electronic controller;
• receiving a signal from a sensor identifying a secure connection of the electrical plug to the electrical socket at the electronic controller;
• enabling power transmittal from the electrical socket to the electrical plug;
• receiving a control signal at the electronic controller to shut off power;
• and
• disabling said power transmittal from the electrical socket to the electrical plug.
