Downloaded Floor Plans 12.2 average
Limitations • Failed on 1 out of 4 homes • 1 week to converge • Only evaluated light, motion, mag’r sensors • How many sensors required? • Restricted floor plan encoding
Conclusions • Simple sensors are enough to infer layout • Floor plan • Sensor locations • Requires small modifications to sensor design • Physical pairing • Mounting strategies • One step towards a “Snap In” smart home
