Collection and Analysis of System Usage Data in Smart Home Automation Systems

Abstract

© 2017 IEEE. In this paper, we implement a basic solution for collection and retrieval of usage data within the existing home automation system. Data collection modules are implemented, which run on the home automation gateway and within the home automation cloud, and allow us to connect to the already existing big data middleware platform. This represents the initial step in building the extensive data storage and analysis component for the existing home automation solution. The recorded data can be used to enable various scenarios interesting for the end users, such as detection of emergency situations and irregularities within the system.
