Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for monitoring systems to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of elderly people and children [1, 2]. In this paper, we collaborate with a local company to collect power consumption data from home energy management systems (HEMS). Our goal is to determine the wake-up time of elderly household residents and obtain information about their general wellbeing. From our case study, it was determined that sensor data should be recorded at 5-minute intervals. In addition, we concluded that the door sensor and motion sensor are more useful in our system.
