Abstract

A smart home is a technologically equipped residence that proactively observes its residents and offers various services. It has emerged as a potential solution to support independent living for people with disabilities and older adults, while also relieving the burdens on family caregivers and healthcare providers. A fundamental aspect of smart homes is their capability to monitor daily living activities and ensure residents' safety by detecting changes in their routines. With the advancements in technology, modern smart homes are furnished with numerous low-power sensors, radios, and embedded processors that collaboratively process data to assess the home's state and the behaviors of its occupants. This article delves into the sensor technology employed in smart homes, with a particular focus on direct environment sensing and infrastructure-mediated sensing. It explores the strengths and limitations of different sensor technologies and discusses the challenges and opportunities from technical, and ethical perspectives.
