Development of a monitoring system based on power consumption

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for monitoring systems to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of elderly people and children [1, 2]. In this paper, we collaborate with a local company to collect power consumption data from home energy management systems (HEMS). Our goal is to determine the wake-up time of elderly household residents and obtain information about their general wellbeing. From our case study, it was determined that sensor data should be recorded at 5-minute intervals. In addition, we concluded that the door sensor and motion sensor are more useful in our system.
