1. A method performed by a relay controller, comprising:
receiving a first motion trigger indicating that motion is detected in an environment;
obtaining one or more first images of the environment based on the first motion trigger;
performing a first object detection operation that indicates whether the one or more first images include an object of interest; and
selectively toggling a relay coupled to one or more devices associated with the environment based at least in part on the first object detection operation, wherein the selective toggling of the relay includes:
closing the relay responsive to the first object detection operation indicating that at least one of the one or more first images includes an object of interest, wherein the closing of the relay couples the one or more devices to a power supply.
