In one or more embodiments, when a smart home power supply encounters with an abnormality, such as power off during operation, the information on the abnormality may be reported to the smart router in real time, and may be notified by the smart router to the terminal so that the user may view and know such abnormality in time.
In the above method provided by one or more embodiments, after successful automatic matching of a smart router with a plurality of smart home power supplies, addresses assigned for the smart home power supplies by the smart router are obtained, and information on a plurality of home appliances connected to the smart home power supplies is obtained. A correspondence between the information on the home appliances and the addresses of the smart home power supplies is established. Control information set for a home appliance by a user is obtained, an address of a smart home power supply connected to the home appliance is searched from the correspondence, and a control instruction is sent to the smart router according to the control information and the address of the smart home power supply to control the smart home power supply to perform a corresponding operation. Thus, a smart control on the smart home power supplies is realized to greatly facilitate user's operations and usage. Consequently, purposes such as energy-saving, safety and convenience to life are achieved and optimized usage and management of home appliances are realized.
In step S31, after successful automatic matching of a smart router with a plurality of smart home power supplies, addresses assigned for the smart home power supplies by the smart router are obtained, and information on a plurality of home appliances connected to the smart home power supplies is obtained.

In step S35, information on usage habits set for the home appliances by the user is obtained.
A user may set usage habits for home appliances on a setting interface provided by the terminal. The set information may include “frequently used”, “not frequently used”, “used every day”, and the like, and one or more embodiments does not impose specific limitations on this.
In step S36, when the information on usage habits indicates that a home appliance is not frequently used, whether a turning-on duration of a smart home power supply connected to the home appliance exceeds a preset threshold is detected on a regular interval. If the turning-on duration exceeds the threshold, a control instruction is sent to the smart router to control the smart home power supply to perform a turning-off operation.
When a home appliance is not used frequently, a user may usually forget to turn off the power supply. Thus, situations such as current leakage or power waste may occur. By regularly detecting and turning off the smart home power supply, it may prevent these situations from happening and thereby to effectively save power. As a result, a purpose for managing smart home power supplies in real time is achieved, energy saving and home security are realized, and thereby user's usage is greatly facilitated and user's experience is improved.
For example, when the smart router determines that the turning-on duration of a home appliance exceeds a preset threshold, the smart router may issue warning information including but not limited to voice warning or light flashing warning, and the like, the warning information may be issued by the smart router or may be notified to the terminal by the smart router, and then warning information may be issued by the terminal to notify the user. The preset threshold may be set according to actual requirements and is not limited to specific value, for example, may be set as 5 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours and the like.
In one or more embodiments, when there are a relatively large number of home appliances in a home, a user may set information on usage habits for each of the home appliances or for a part of the home appliances according to actual requirements, and one or more embodiments does not impose specific limitations on this.
In one or more embodiments, alternatively or additionally, the information on the home appliances includes identification information of the home appliances, or includes both the identification information and property information of the home appliances, wherein the property information is displayed when being viewed by the user.

Thus, a smart control on the smart home power supplies is realized to greatly facilitate user's operations and usage. Consequently, purposes such as energy-saving, safety and convenience to life are achieved and optimized usage and management of home appliances are realized. For example, if some home appliances which are not used frequently are in an operation state and a user cannot turn off these home appliances in time, remote operations may be performed by a terminal to realize a smart management on the smart home power supplies.
