Abstract
Smart home is a residence with several electrical and electronic appliances that
are capable of communicating with each other and can be controlled remotely from any
room in the home or from any location in the world. Easy control of home
appliances/devices and energy management has been the main goal that leads to the
invention of smart homes. However, most of the systems developed for these homes are
either complex or could not manage energy wastage efficiently which incurring more
electricity bills cost. In this work, an intelligent home energy management system that is
based on Least Square Regression (LSR) analysis is presented. The system is trained
based on the historical data of occupant’s interaction with the appliances over a period of
time. It monitors and computes the power consumption of home user over a period of
time. This system takes decision and controlled the output using LSR based on what it
learnt by alerting the home user on condition of accept or reject response through
Android GUI Apps. The system performance evaluation based on the frequency
prediction which is given as 0.77 RMSE, the activation time prediction is given as 127.89
seconds RMSE which is slightly above 2 minutes with a regression coefficient of
(R=0.999988). The RMSE of 257.90 seconds for activation of duration prediction with
regression coefficient analysis of (R= 0.989071).
