In the conventional case, it is possible to automatically cut off standby power, but a technology for automatically restoring power to a home appliance that has been blocked has not been applied, so that users have to manually restore power, which is inconvenient.

However, by including the occupancy sensor in the AI switch 110, which is an automatic standby power cut-off switch, the energy management server 140 detects the user's non-occupancy and reduces the power consumption of home appliances connected to the outlet of the AI switch 110. When the value is less than a preset value, the power of the corresponding outlet is cut off, and then, when the presence of the user is detected, the power of the cut off outlet can be restored.

In addition, the existing automatic standby power blocking switch had the inconvenience of requiring the user to manually set the standby power value and to manually restore the blocked outlet when the standby power was detected and the power to the outlet was cut off. By combining presence detection technology with automatic power cut-off switch technology, standby power is automatically cut off according to the user's presence and automatically By restoring power to a blocked outlet, user convenience can be enhanced, and energy waste due to standby power can be prevented.
