Systems and methods are described herein for provisioning power to a power consumption device in a depowered state (e.g., a device not consuming current such as standby current). Aspects discussed herein relate to receiving a first portion of audio input via a tuning fork. A vibration amplitude of the tuning fork may be compared with a reference amplitude. Voice recognition may be performed to determine one or more voice commands in a second portion of the audio input and an appropriate action may be taken based on the voice commands. Aspects discussed herein also relate to receiving a plurality of signals that energize an energy accumulator, activating a decoder based on an accumulated energy in the energy accumulator, and processing the signals to activate a power consumption device.
