Abstract

Home automation systems are ambient intelligence systems that are designed to help people proactively, but sensibly. In this paper we propose a system that learns and automates patterns in the interactions of the user with the home automation devices. We will show our approach and architecture. We use an event processing tool to handle the events from the home automation devices, prediction algorithms to predict the next action and reinforcement learning to decide which action are suitable to be automated.
