Intelligent Smart Home Energy Efficiency Model Using Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things

Abstract In the path to sustainable development, it is very necessary to use technology in the right way. Today's world involves the usage of various energy-efficient devices in our day-to-day lives that leads to optimal utilization of energy. In this research work, the design and implementation of a smart home system model is proposed that can control all the electrical equipment as well as monitor the usage of every device being used in the smart home. The system will use the combination of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies. This system will be useful for all individuals in their daily life to find comfort. The system not only optimizes the energy usage, but instead it also stands by the emergence of equipment that makes it a complete smart home package. The proposed system will monitor all the inputs and outputs throughout the house. These inputs and outputs may be a person, electricity, or water supply. This system will help in improving the current standard of living by monitoring these inputs. The water monitoring system will monitor the quality of water and its resources. These resources may be the groundwater or the treated water from rainwater harvesting. Similarly, it can be used even after the resources have been depleted; for example, the proposed system has to work for fulfilling today’s requirement of renewable sources of energy. This is done by using artificial intelligence in the system that will calculate the usage, and according to it, the system will switch to a hybrid mode that will use the solar energy and store extra charge in the battery.
