Abstract
This study proposed a household energy state monitoring system (HESMS) and
a household energy load monitoring system (HELMS) for monitoring smart
appliances. The HESMS applies reinforcement learning to receive changes in the
external environment and the state of an electrical appliance, determines if the
electrical appliance should be turned on, and controls the signals sent to the
HELMS according to these decisions. The HELMS implements an ON/OFF control
mechanism for household appliances according to the control signals and the
power consumption state. The proposed systems are based on the wireless
communication network and can monitor household appliances’ energy usage,
control intelligent appliances, and decrease fire occurrence rates due to
electrical appliance overloading. In addition to minimizing costs, the system
does not change the original household appliance structures. When the control
signals are transferred by the relay through wireless communication, the
monitoring information is captured and recorded in a database. Thus, users can
access the latest information regarding the performance of electrical appliances.
