DOI 10.3390/app162010287
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article examines concepts of human–machine interaction that support a human-centered approach: cybersocial systems of Industry 5.0 and symbiotic systems. It analyzes the potential for creating symbiotic smart home systems. It also looks into the most common tasks solved by smart homes in the area of electricity consumption, such as analyzing and forecasting energy consumption within the system and developing recommendations for smart home ecosystem participants based on this analysis and forecast. The mutual influence of these tasks in a symbiotic smart home system is demonstrated. It proposes an approach to identifying typical energy consumption scenarios and interpreting consumer behavior. It develops an ensemble learning algorithm for time series forecasting based on clustering. The article also explores the feasibility of implementing the concept of rational consumption and generating recommendations for shifting consumption to periods with lower tariffs based on household electricity consumption forecasting.
