The present invention discloses a hybrid power line/wireless appliance automation system for interfacing between at least one electric power distribution circuit and at least one electronic device, a power line communication device, and a power monitoring method using the same. Each power line communication device can be communicatively interconnected via power line communication and/or wireless communication. A threshold value of each power line communication device is dynamically adjusted by a host device via wired or wireless connection, so as to determine whether to continuously supply or turn off power to an electronic device coupled to the power line communication device. The present invention may be implemented/integrated to existing household electric power network without the need for additional physical data network infrastructure/lines, therefore is suitable to be applied in an intelligent home management system.

The invention discloses a smart home service robot system. The smart home service robot system comprises a human-computer interface module, an electric drive module, a navigation module, a family service module, a wireless communication module and a safety alarming module; a human-computer interaction control is achieved by the human-computer interface module; by means of electric power, the walk of a smart home service robot is achieved by the electric drive module; according to the navigation module, the walk track of the smart home service robot is recorded, a coordinate map is established, and moving and obstacle avoiding are achieved by matching the navigation module with the electric drive module; the family service module is adaptive to household appliances and/or equipment, and a home management is achieved by the family service module through the human-computer interaction and control; the internet is accessed by the wireless communication module, and the interaction and control can be achieved by the wireless communication module and a user terminal; the household appliances and/or the equipment adapted by the family service module are/is monitored by the safety alarming module, and the safety alarming module can judge an abnormal condition and give an alarm. The smart home control can be safer, more efficient and practical, and compared with a traditional smart home, and the smart home service robot system has the advantages of being safer and more reliable.
