  • Through monitoring the power consumption of a house, it is possible to establish if someone is on it at a particular time. Currently there are several approaches to determine the occupation of a home. There are works that ad-dress the use of intrusive systems that require user interaction, while other works address the non-intrusive use of sensors for presence detection. In this article, we propose the use of a sensor network for measuring the electricity consumption of a family home. In particular, the use of a multi-agent system is proposed for the intelligent management of the data generated by the deployed sensor network. Through nonintrusive occupation monitoring algorithm, it can be determined when a house is occupied by users and when it is empty.
