A WSN-Based Intelligent Light Control System Considering User Activities and Profiles

Abstract

Abstract-Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely discussed in many applications. In this paper, we propose a WSN-based intelligent light control system for indoor environments. Wireless sensors are responsible for measuring current illuminations. Two kinds of lighting devices, namely whole lighting and local lighting devices, are used to provide background and concentrated illuminations, respectively. Users may have various illumination requirements according to their activities and profiles. An illumination requirement is as the combination of background and concentrated illumination demands and users' locations. We consider two requirement models, namely binary satisfaction and continuous satisfaction models, and propose two decision algorithms to determine the proper illuminations of devices and to achieve the desired optimization goals. Then a closed-loop device control algorithm is applied to adjust the illumination levels of lighting devices. The prototyping results verify that our ideas are practical and feasible.

Energy Management for Intelligent Buildings

“…It seeks to maximize or minimize an objective function subject to constraints, and there is a rich collection of work in this area (Akita et al,2010;Kaku et al, 2010;M.

Home Automation System by Using Smart Devices

“…The core part of this system is the interoperability of different networks in the home environment. Pan et al [4] proposed a WSN-based intelligent light control system for indoor environments, such as a home for a reduction in energy consumption. In this system, wireless sensors are responsible for measuring current illuminations and the lights are controlled by applying the model of user's actions and profiles.…”
