ABSTRACT
The world of intelligent devices for smart home automation has expanded
rapidly in recent years. The modern lifestyle of today demands smart systems at all
times and locations to make life better and easier. The growing use of smart home
technology has revolutionized modern living by offering energy efficiency,
convenience, and security. This paper explores the enhancement of smart home
automation using behavior-based automation.
We propose a system that collects data on a user’s daily home entry times
over a period and uses this data to adjust the indoor environment, such as pre-
conditioning the air conditioning (AC) based on anticipated home arrival times. In
cases where the user deviates from their usual schedule, anomaly detection
algorithms are employed to identify discrepancies in entry times and adjust the AC
settings accordingly, including turning off the system to conserve energy if the user
is late.
By analyzing past behavior the system intelligently optimizes alternating
current consumption, reducing unnecessary power consumption. It mainly focuses
on understanding the user's behavior and adapting .The effectiveness of this system
is evaluated through simulations and real-world data, demonstrating its potential for
reducing energy consumption.
