1. A method, comprising:
monitoring network-enabled electric plugs in a first region;
obtaining, by one of the network-enabled electric plugs and via network sniffing, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses associated with a set of network-enabled electric plugs in a second region and connected to a same access point as one of the network-enabled electric plugs; and
in response to determining, by one of the network-enabled electric plugs, that the obtained IP addresses do not correspond to a list of previously obtained IP addresses for the first region, transmitting, by the one of the network-enabled electric plugs, a message to a web application indicating that the one of the network-enabled electric plugs has moved from the first region to the second region.
