1. An air conditioner unit, the air conditioner unit comprising:
a plurality of power actuatable devices, the plurality of power actuatable devices comprising a first power actuatable device and a second power actuatable device at the air conditioner unit;
a controller in operable communication with the plurality of power actuatable devices, the controller configured to:
receive a control command corresponding to providing power to the first power actuatable device;
obtain a power limit of the air conditioner unit, wherein the power limit corresponds to a threshold above which a circuit may be overloaded or tripped;
determine a power threshold, wherein the power threshold is a difference of the power limit and a power input to the second power actuatable device in a power receiving state;
compare a power requirement corresponding to the control command to the power limit and the power threshold;
determine whether the second power actuatable device is in the power receiving state below the power threshold or above the power threshold;
when the power receiving state of the second power actuatable device is above the power threshold, monitor the power receiving state of the second power actuatable device until the power receiving state is below the power threshold; and
when the power receiving state of the second power actuatable device is below the power threshold, provide power to the first power actuatable device based on the control command.
