Abstract

Home automation or domotics systems are ambient inte lligence systems that are designed to help people proactively, but sensibly. In this paper we propose a system that l earns and automates patterns in the interactions of the user with the home automation de vices. We show our appro ach and architecture. An event processing tool is used to handle the events from the home automation devices, prediction algorithms predict the next action and both rule-based algorithms as reinforcement learning decide which actions are suitable to be automated. We show the results of our system on both a synthetic data set and a real data set. The automation system manages to au tomate a significant number of interactions for the user.
