Workflow Description

1. Detect Energy Usage

Real-time data from energy sensors is collected and analyzed.

2. Evaluate Energy Levels

The system checks if the energy usage exceeds predefined thresholds.

3. Notify Homeowner

If high usage is detected, an alert is sent to the homeowner’s device.

4. Adjust Settings

The system automatically adjusts settings to optimize energy consumption.

5. Log Data

All actions and alerts are logged for future analysis and reporting.

Postconditions

After the capability completes, energy usage is optimized, alerts are logged, and the homeowner is informed of any significant changes.

Optional Enhancements

• Integrate predictive analytics to forecast energy usage trends.
• Enable remote control for manual adjustments via mobile app.
• Add machine learning algorithms to improve energy efficiency over time.
