Abstract

Smart scheduling of domestic appliances based on user demand is an important aspect of any home energy management system. Such a demand driven operation can be performed only by accurately detecting the presence and the location of users in their residence. IoT and other enabling technologies can transform a smart home into an energy aware entity by judicious utilization of the available data. This paper presents a survey of various occupancy detection and localization schemes and evaluates them on the basis of various factors that decide their suitability for home energy management system. Wireless technologies have been historically employed for detecting unknown targets in indoor environments. The pervasiveness of WiFi access points in urban buildings render it as a preferred candidate for occupancy detection and localization. Design of device-free sensing techniques, using commercially available WiFi routers can offer an affordable solution with minimum disturbance to the inhabitants. Detection accuracy maybe enhanced by combining wireless techniques with smartphone inertial sensors and other passive detection schemes that utilize smart energy meters or environmental sensors. In contrast to commercial buildings, several challenges must be addressed for occupancy detection in home energy management system. The impact of these design challenges are investigated and feasible solutions are suggested.
