Abstract:
A smart device for a household consumable includes at least one load sensor configured to measure a current load of a household consumable being supported by the smart device and a processor configured to compare the current load to a previously measured load to determine whether to increment one of a plurality of consumption event counters. The processor is configured to periodically transmit data located in the plurality of consumption event counters.
