<p>Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is standard as a system for reducing power consumption in ordinary homes. The system prevents the users from forgetting to turn off home appliances.

However to estimate user’s behavior is difficult for the system. So we develop Multifunction Outlet System into a function to control home appliances.
