FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating one example method 400 for operating the non-contact separable wiring device power transfer system 300. It should be understood that the order of the steps disclosed in method 400 could vary. Additional steps may also be added to the control sequence and not all of the steps may be required. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the method 400 includes establishing communication between the power transmitter device 310 and the power receiver device 315 (at block 410). For example, a Bluetooth? connection, a Zigbee? connection, or the like may be established between the power transmitter device 310 and the power receiver device 315 to facilitate communication between the transmitter electronic processor 320 and the receiver electronic processor 345. The wireless communication between the power transmitter device 310 and the power receiver device 315 using Bluetooth? and the like is referred to as out-of-band communication. In some embodiments, an in-band communication based on modulating signals provided to the transmitter coil 340 and the receiver coil 370 may be established instead of the out-of-band communication. In these embodiments, the transmitter transceiver 330 and the receiver transceiver 355 may not be required or may be modified accordingly.
