Intelligent Adaptive Lighting Control: Reinforcement Learning-Based Optimization for Smart Home Energy Efficiency

Abstract

This study introduces a novel research paper outlining a behavioral-based adaptive lighting system that aims to revolutionise smart home lighting by integrating user behavior tracking to enhance energy efficiency and user comfort. Unlike traditional motion-sensor-based lighting, the novelty of this approach is the ability to adapt dynamically to evolving user behaviors through reinforcement learning. The system utilises Wi-Fi-based positioning, GPS and accelerometer data to monitor user movements and classify different areas of the house. Users initially calibrate the home layout through a mobile application, marking room locations and lighting configurations. The system then collects movement data over time to predict optimal lighting schedules based on user routines and refines the predictions and updates lighting adjustments accordingly, minimising energy wastage while maximising user convenience. A serverless backend architecture ensures scalability, cost-effectiveness, and seamless data processing. The adaptive framework continuously refines lighting automation, responding to evolving behavioral patterns.
