homesensing
Home sensing refers to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data from sensors located in residential environments to monitor occupancy, activity, environmental conditions, and device status.
Common sensor types include occupancy sensors such as passive infrared (PIR) and ultrasonic sensors, contact sensors
Data from these sensors are transmitted over home networks using protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread,
Applications include energy management (HVAC and lighting optimization), safety and security (detecting intrusions or falls), elder
Challenges include privacy and security, data ownership and consent, interoperability across devices, and the potential for
The concept emerged with home automation and domotics in the late 20th century and has grown with
