Integration of IoT Energy Management System with Appliance and Activity Recognition

The Internet of Things (IoT) extends and expands the range of the internet by interconnecting Internet and end device networks. As the raising of awareness about IoT, more and more application may applied for various areas. Especially, how to develop intelligent systems for energy saving becomes a new challenge in all circles. This research integrated appliance and activity recognition mechanism for IoT energy management system. It presented a management service layer for the recognition of current household appliances, which not only establishes communication services among various appliances, and deduced human activity conducted for context data using Naive Bayes from the electric appliances in use and the variation of its states. Finally, the proposed system can automatically achieve energy management by controlling electric appliances.
