Method and apparatus for setting and integrating home automation grid or network with electrical grid

A structurally integrated electrical grid of one of a residential and a commercial unit with at least one of home automation grid and network via plurality of intelligent support boxes each connects to said electrical grid directly and to at least one load via at least one electrical wiring device, said plurality of intelligent support boxes are linked to at least one of a controller and a command converter by one of bidirectional optical signals via one of cascading grid of optical cable and at least one of wireless RF and IR signals bidirectionally propagated in open air;

• each of said plurality of intelligent support boxes comprising a CPU, at least one of setting selector and a memory for setting the home automation grid and for loading particulars data pertaining to each installed intelligent support box as structured including data pertaining to said at least one wiring device, circuits for operating and for calculating the power consumed by each load via said wiring device and communication circuits for communicating at least one way of bidirectional signal with said at least one of controller and command converter via one of said home automation grid and network;
• each of said intelligent support box is structured and set to attach at least one of a given wiring devices and is one of preloaded and randomly loaded with said particulars and further comprising a structured current drain sensor for each attached wiring device for said power consumed calculation, said setting including one of an identifying numeral and one of a code and address via said at least one of setting selector or wirelessly via one of an hand held loader and a pad for loading a box identifier to said memory and to the memory of said at least one controller and command converter for recording and identifying each of said intelligent support boxes and their installed location within said unit;
• and each given load powered via said given wiring device is identified via one of said setting selector and a given load identifier stored in said memory and in the memory of said one of controller and command converter or via one of said hand loader and a power plug with one of optical port and an RFID tag mated with a reciprocal optical port and an RFID reader respectively accessed via a power outlet of said wiring devices attached to said intelligent support box.
