1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring device electrical usage within a property, the property populated with a hardware controller in communication with a plurality of devices, the method comprising:
analyzing, by one or more processors of the hardware controller, (i) electrical usage data from a device disposed within the property and (ii) audio data corresponding to noise generated during operation of the device to determine that the device is outputting more than a threshold level of power;
in response to determining that the device is outputting more than the threshold level of power, generating, by the one or more processors, a command to reduce a power output of the device; and
sending the command to the hardware controller, wherein the hardware controller causes the device to reduce the power output.
