摘要： A method of defining a message to be sent to at least one appliance regarding a schedule for performing a cycle of operation includes a step of acquiring pricing data from a source of information about a resource consumed by the appliance. A projected rate for the use of the resource by the appliance for a future series of time periods is calculated based upon a user preference. A projected schedule for performing the cycle of operation for a future series of time periods is created and then incorporated into the message that is transmitted to the appliance.

摘要： A communication system and method for authoring an appliance for connecting a first appliance to a first network. The connection process can include recognition of the first appliance by a computer system. Upon recognition, the computer system can instruct a second appliance to connect to the first appliance. The second appliance, upon prompting of the computer system, then communicates information that enables the first appliance to connect with the first network.

摘要： A method of determining an optimal schedule for performing a cycle of operation in the appliance wherein the schedule is a function of the tradeoff factor wherein the tradeoff factor is used to determine a rate threshold above which a delay request is included in the optimal schedule, and the rate threshold is a summation of I) an average of a series of projected rates for the use of the resource by the appliance for a future series of time periods and II) a product of the tradeoff factor and a standard deviation of the series of projected rates.
