Automatic Kitchen Cabinet openers may frequently include two types of mechanisms. One type of mechanism is designed for a swinging door, such as a cupboard door. Another type is designed for sliding drawers. For a swinging door mechanism, a rotational motion is generated by a bi-directional servo motor to open or close, or open and close, the door. On a sliding mechanism, rotational motion of a geared motor may be converted to translational motion to slide the drawer in or out. These motors are controlled by a microcontroller as one system or individual unit with IR motion sensor integration or remotely via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or voice control. In some embodiments the mechanisms may be operated by 6V or 12V DC battery adapter.

A load control system and method of time multiplexing power to a plurality of holding shelves in a food holding cabinet to allow total cabinet power to be limited to electrical distribution capabilities.
