Abstract

Recently, smart homes have become the center of Internet of Things (IoT) development. More and more connected devices are now parts of our house. These devices are considered as “smart” devices because they may be able to communicate with each other or with the Internet. However, they are not “smart” enough in a sense of learning. Most of the time, users have to manually interact with the devices to match their living style. This paper proposes a distributed machine learning method to automate the learning process for these devices to avoid making users repeat the manual interaction over and over again. Each device is able to self-learn to detect users’ favorite settings during certain periods and then share this information among other self-learning smart devices to find patterns that may lead to the best combination of their settings that suit the living style of each member of the house. It implements a distributed classifier system that resulted in an algorithm that is small enough to run on lightweight single-board computers.
