Zusammenfassung:Gaming systems, apparatus and methods for providing information about electrical devices associated with an entity are described, which may be implemented to promote more efficient use of resources by players by monitoring their use of said resources in a competitive gaming system. Various components may determine electrical signatures specific to electrical devices that are receiving electrical power through power lines, identify electrical devices, and make predictions on power consumption. A notification component determines events or conditions associated with specific electrical devices (e.g. abnormal usage, device failure, excess power consumption), and notifications relating to such events or conditions is provided to a person. Some implementations include determining and promoting goals for resource consumption and tracking/monitoring the progression of one or more players in reaching said goals. The system may include tracking different players' progress and providing updates of said progress in a points system where the players are competing.
