Simulating Home Appliance Behavior and Operational Condition-Action Rules for Autonomous Intelligence

The future of home appliances in the IoT (Internet of Things) lies in self-awareness, independent condition-action rule implementation, and device autonomy. In the concept of autonomy, agent-based IoT appliances can SLEEP and WAKE-UP independently as when necessary, perceive and compute data; and engage in communication or negotiation with other agent-based devices. In the paradigm of OOP, this paper describes various home appliances' autonomous artificial intelligent (AAI) behavior. While self-awareness borders on the appliance knowing its current status and location, self-control relates to the appliance's ability to control its outgoing and incoming data and take the appropriate action based on some given environment data conditional rules. Thus, this paper presents some IoT home appliances' operational condition-action behavior (CAB). Firstly, by simulation, then followed by the actual transformation of the CAB rules into modular programs in object-oriented paradigm for sensor and appliance agents. The WindSpeedSensor, TempSensor, and HumiditySensor utilize the given environment data input to communicate with their respective WindowAppliance and CoffeeMachineAppliance agent, as demonstrated in this paper. In turn, the appliance agents take the decision reached by their sensors to perform some autonomous action. This model depicts independent AAI behavior of home appliances for the benefit of home owners.
