The present invention relates to a method for the automatic monitoring of an electrotechnical work flow and to a corresponding device. The method comprises the following steps: establishing (S0) a first bidirectional communications link (F1) between a mobile communications unit (1) and a mobile voltmeter (10); starting (S1) a work step sequence program on a mobile communications unit (1) by means of an input device (1b) of the mobile communications unit (1); outputting (S2) a work step instruction (A) to disconnect a live electronic component (K1) in order to effect an absence of voltage at the electronic component (K1) on an outputting device (1a) of the mobile communications unit (1) by the work step sequence program; automatically or manually confirming (S3) the disconnection of the electronic component (K1) at the mobile communications unit (1); following the confirmation (S3) of the disconnection of the electronic component (K1), outputting (S4) a work step instruction (A) to check the absence of voltage at the electronic component (K1) by means of the mobile voltmeter (10) on the outputting device (1a) of the mobile communications unit (1) by the work step sequence program; checking (S5) the absence of voltage at the electronic component (K1) by means of the mobile voltmeter (10); communicating (S6) the result of the check from the mobile voltmeter (10) to the mobile communications unit (1); if the result of the check indicates an absence of voltage, automatically confirming (S8) the check of the absence of voltage from the electronic component (K1) by outputting a confirmation signal by the mobile communications unit (1); if the result of the check does not indicate an absence of voltage, outputting (S9a) a first alarm signal by the mobile communications device (1).

Examples disclosed herein relate to receiving a usage report from a printer, wherein the usage report comprises a count of pages printed and a time spent in a first power state; calculating a power consumption for the printer according to the usage report, and providing a report of historic power consumption.

Pellet grills including a control system that implements, manages, and/or controls various ignition-based protocols and/or processes are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a cooking chamber, a burn pot, an ignitor, and a controller. The ignitor extends into the burn pot and is configured to ignite pellet fuel located within the burn pot. The controller is configured to command the ignitor to activate during a first duration. The controller is further configured to determine, following expiration of the first duration, whether a temperature of the cooking chamber has reached a threshold temperature. The controller is further configured, in response to determining that the temperature has not reached the threshold temperature, to command the ignitor to activate during a second duration.

A picking tool includes a main body, a pressure sensor mounted on the main body, a memory, and a display screen. The main body includes a picking portion. The pressure sensor is located on the picking portion. The pressure sensor is pressed when the main body picks an object. The memory is electrically coupled to the pressure sensor and configured to obtain a total number of sensed pressure signals from the pressure sensor. The display screen is electrically coupled to the memory and configured to display the total number of sensed pressure signals.

An example pellet grill includes a cooking chamber, a burn pot, an ignitor, and a controller. The ignitor extends into the burn pot and is configured to ignite pellet fuel located within the burn pot. The controller is configured to detect a temperature pattern of the cooking chamber corresponding to a flame out condition of the burn pot. The controller is further configured, in response to detecting the temperature pattern, to command the ignitor to activate during a first duration. The controller is further configured to determine, following expiration of the first duration, whether a temperature of the cooking chamber increased during the first duration. The controller is further configured, in response to determining that the temperature has not increased during the first duration, to command the ignitor to activate during a second duration.
