In 706, monitoring center 400 determines whether device 110 is a contraband device based on the performed contraband detection. In 708, if device 110 is not determined to be a contraband device, then monitoring center 400 transmits a positive response to the connected outlet, power adapter, and/or device 110 where the positive response indicates that device 110 is approved to receive power. For example, if connected outlet is a smart outlet, such as smart outlet 300, then the response indicates to the outlet to be transition to or remain in an active state in order to relay power to device 110. If connected outlet is a conventional outlet but the power adapter is a smart power adapter, such as smart power adapter 200, then the response indicates to the power adapter to transition to or remain in an active state in order to relay power to device 110.
In 710, monitoring center 400 updates the profiles associated with device 110, smart power adapter 200, and/or smart outlet 300 to include the status of the current request as well as any additional information associated with the contraband detection.
