ElectriSense: Single-Point Sensing Using EMI for Electrical Event Detection and Classification in the Homeauthors:Gupta, Reynolds, Patel presenter: Gerritsen
Domain: Activity-inference research
The premise: Detecting electrical events within the home
Prior work: Resistive and inductive electrical loads make detectable noise. Patel, Robertson, Kientz, Reynolds, Abowd, from UbiComp, 2007
Resistive load: No power inrush. Electric heater. Incandescent bulb. Fan.
Inductive load: Power spike inrush. Motor, e.g., hair dryer. Relay, e.g., electromagnet.
New approach: Detecting switch mode power supplies (SMPS)
SMPS High efficiency devices. LCD monitor. Fluorescent bulb. Awkward new washer.
The basic idea: The harmonics of continuous electromagnetic interference
The basic idea: Specific device signatures
Testing: 6 homes, 1 day each Plug in List every appliance Label each device Simulate activity Consistency testing Data storage and output 1 home, 6 months Beep
What they found: K-Nearest Neighbor average accuracy = 91.75% (Clustering pairs 93.82%)
What they found: Single-instance training accuracy = 89.25%
What they found: Device signatures consistent
What they found: Device signatures stable over time
How to improve: Signal separation
How to improve: More refined set of classifiers
How to improve: Reduce vigilance
How to improve: Plug into different phases or the 240 V
Last line from the paper: • Our new strategy shows significant promise as a practical, low-cost solution for providing disaggregating electrical information for energy monitoring and ubiquitous computing applications.
Discussion: • Gamification! • Office use • Smart spaces
