    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Brîncoveanu, Constantin; Carl, K. Valerie; Binz, Simon; Weiher, Moritz-Andre; Thomas, Oliver; Hinz, Oliver
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being utilized to promote sustainable behavior, particularly in the context of smart homes. Such solutions can significantly enhance resource consumption sustainability by leveraging data analysis for ecological benefits. This systematic literature review examines the requirements for data-driven AI applications aimed at improving environmental sustainability in smart homes, based on an analysis of 60 selected papers. Key findings include the importance of predictive analytics, privacy and security, context-aware features, real-time monitoring, interoperability, efficiency strategies, personalized user engagement, user interface design, and behavioral aspects. We highlight technological advancements that facilitate more comprehensive applications and identify the need for integrating diverse features to build consumer trust and acceptance. This review provides an overview of current smart home technologies and suggests future research directions to enhance energy efficiency, user comfort, and environmental sustainability.

    Assessing Users’ Privacy and Security Concerns of Smart Home Technologies
    (i-com: Vol. 18, No. 3, 2019) Zimmermann, Verena; Gerber, Paul; Marky, Karola; Böck, Leon; Kirchbuchner, Florian
    Smart Home technologies have the potential to increase the quality of life, home security and facilitate elderly care. Therefore, they require access to a plethora of data about the users’ homes and private lives. Resulting security and privacy concerns form a relevant barrier to adopting this promising technology. Aiming to support end users’ informed decision-making through addressing the concerns we first conducted semi-structured interviews with 42 potential and little-experienced Smart Home users. Their diverse concerns were clustered into four themes that center around attacks on Smart Home data and devices, the perceived loss of control, the trade-off between functionality and security, and user-centric concerns as compared to concerns on a societal level. Second, we discuss measures to address the four themes from an interdisciplinary perspective. The paper concludes with recommendations for addressing user concerns and for supporting developers in designing user-centered Smart Home technologies.

    DAMA – A transparent meta-assistant for data self-determination in smart environments
    (Open Identity Summit 2021, 2021) Ruff, Christopher; Horch, Andrea; Benthien, Benedict; Loh, Wulf; Orlowski, Alexander
    Global sales of AI-based smart voice assistants and other smart devices are increasing every year. Smart devices are becoming ubiquitous, including living and workspaces. These spaces often have very high privacy requirements, like living rooms, bedrooms or meeting rooms in office environments. Users of smart devices have security and privacy concerns regarding personal data collection, data storage and the use of such data by the devices and the providers. These concerns are aggravated by a lack of transparency by the device manufacturers. As a result, users have limited possibilities to make an informed decision due to missing information or interfaces. While this leads to limited trust regarding the security and privacy of smart devices, for most users, the practical benefit dominates. The project DAMA wants to address user’s security and privacy concerns by creating transparency and regulating the smart devices in connection with the respective context (e.g. when users are alone at home or when they have visitors). For this purpose, the project is developing a “meta-assistant”, an assistant that regulates other AI-based assistants and other smart devices. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) for context detection and device regulation. The regulation processes are based on established ethical guidelines, which are adjusted to the project context.

    Das Zuhause smart machen – Erfahrungen aus Nutzersicht
    (Mensch und Computer 2016 - Tagungsband, 2016) Jakobi, Timo; Ogonowski, Corinna; Castelli, Nico; Stevens, Gunnar; Wulf, Volker
    Kleinere, günstigere und effizientere Sensoren und Aktoren sowie Funkprotokolle haben dazu geführt, dass Smart Home Produkte in zunehmend auch für den privaten Massenmarkt erschwinglich werden. Damit stehen Hersteller und Anbieter vor der Herausforderung, komplexe cyber-physische Systeme für Jedermann handhabbar zu gestalten. Es fehlen allerdings empirische Erkenntnisse über die Rolle von Smart Home im Alltag. Wir präsentieren Ergebnisse aus einer Living Lab Studie, in der 14 Haushalte mit einer am Markt erhältlichen Smart Home Nachrüstlösung ausgestattet und über neun Monate empirisch begleitet wurden. Anhand der Analyse von Interviews, Beobachtungen und Co-Design Workshops in den Phasen der Produktauswahl, Installation, Konfiguration und längerfristigen Nutzung zeigen wir Herausforderungen und Potentiale von Smart Home Systemen auf. Unsere Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, dass das Smart Home immer noch von technischen Details dominiert wird. Zugleich fehlen Nutzern angemessene Steuerungs- und Kontrollmöglichkeiten, um weiterhin die Entscheidungshoheit im eigenen Zuhause zu behalten.

    Designing alternative future home stories
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Haupt, Benedikt; Pentzold, Christian; Becker, Alexa; Berger, Arne
    Usually the smart home imaginaries portray nuclear families living in detached houses with a focus on efficiency and energy. In this workshop, we follow the co-design approach to imagine alternative future homes beyond this stereotype. First, we brainstorm the concept of home addressing idiosyncratic needs and expectations. Second, we try three co-design tool adaptations in small groups which allow us to collaboratively imagine speculative futures. LittleBoxes is a cultural probe variation with which participants can configure a speculative future by using inspirational and technological materials. The Tiles IoT Inventor Toolkit adaptation helps to tell detailed stories of how to possibly live with technology in the future. With the IoT Service Kit adaption participants are able to build speculative home scenarios and playfully explore imaginary future technologies within them. There will be two rounds of co-designing, so every participant will explore two of the toolkits. In the last part, we reflect on the experiences as well as discuss if and how participants could imagine adapting the introduced tools beyond the workshop.

    Digitaler Stress im Smart Home: Eine empirische Untersuchung
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 56, No. 3, 2019) Mittermüller, Nadine; Fischer, Thomas; Riedl, René
    Die Nutzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) kann zu digitalem Stress führen. Die zunehmende Verbreitung von Smart-Home-Technologien im privaten Umfeld, die über unterschiedliche Endgeräte und Komponenten (von konventionellen Schaltern bis zu Smartphone-Apps) bedient werden können, kann die Entstehung von digitalem Stress begünstigen. Mittels einer dreistufigen methodischen Vorgehensweise wurde auf Basis der Gegenüberstellung zweier Beispiele (konventioneller Taster vs. Smartphone-App) untersucht, ob bei der Bedienung von Smart-Home-Anwendungen digitaler Stress wahrgenommen wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine mobile App zur Steuerung von Smart-Home-Technologie Stress reduzierend wirken kann, und zwar insbesondere dann, wenn Erfahrung im Umgang mit der verwendeten Technologie besteht. Smart-Home-Interessenten, also Personen, welche bereits Erfahrung im Umgang mit dieser Technologie haben, jedoch nicht in einem solchen Umfeld leben, antizipieren jedoch deutlich mehr Stress als Smart-Home-Nutzer oder Personen ohne Smart-Home-Erfahrung. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) can lead to technostress. The growing prevalence of smart home technologies at home that can be controlled with a variety of devices and components (from conventional push buttons to smartphone apps) may foster the emergence of technostress. By utilizing a research design based on three steps, we investigated if technostress is experienced when controlling smart home applications through a comparison of two examples (conventional push button vs smartphone app). The results indicate that mobile apps can create a more stress-free control mode for smart homes, particularly if the individual has experience with the use of the technology. Yet, individuals who are interested in smart homes and have already gained some experience with the use of involved technologies, but do not live in a smart home, anticipate more stress than individuals who live in smart homes or individuals who have no prior experience with smart homes.

    Introducing Roboticising User Interfaces (RUIs)
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Kullmann, Maximilian
    I propose the notion of Roboticising User Interfaces (RUIs) that help cope with the daily problems we let into our homes and lives by automation. A culture of cooperation in the form of recommendations and requests is established by enabling a system to become part of a bidirectional (voiceless) dialogue instigated by the (implicit) interaction between human and machine. The means of communication on the system side are based on gestures made up of the psychophysical stimuli resulting from mechanics; users respond to such recommen-dations or requests by interacting with the system based on the given interaction paradigm(s). During a first empirical study with 15 participants, a prototype of a RUI in the form of a lighting system has been investigated. It can be derived that RUIs enable to articulate intent. Moreover, indications were found that allow the assumption that by positively influencing their user's behaviour, automated systems with a RUI have a greater supporting effect in achieving an arbitrary but common goal (often the reason for automation in the first place) than those without one.

    Machtförmige Praktiken durch Sensordaten in Wohnungen
    (Mensch und Computer 2018 - Tagungsband, 2018) Richter, Johanna; Bischof, Andreas; Kurze, Albrecht; Totzauer, Sören; Freiermuth, Mira; Storz, Michael; Lefeuvre, Kevin; Berger, Arne
    Durch den Anstieg von „Smart Home”-Technik generieren in Wohnungen immer mehr vernetzte Sensoren Daten. Diese Daten, auch einfache Umweltdaten, wie Temperatur oder Luftfeuchtigkeit, enthalten Informationen über den Alltag der dort Wohnenden. Meist haben die Personen, die in den Wohnungen leben, keinen direkten Zugriff auf diese Sensordaten. Um zu untersuchen, wie sich der Zugriff auf Sensordaten durch die dort Wohnenden auswirkt, wurden eine „Sensor Probe“ und die Gruppendiskussionsmethode „Daten-Raten” entwickelt. Diese ermöglichen den eigenständigen Zugriff auf Sensordaten und die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen. Die Ergebnisse einer Feldstudie zeigen, dass die Teilnehmenden Spuren ihres täglichen Lebens in den Daten erkennen und diese einzelnen Personen zuordnen können. Das führt zu machtförmigen Praktiken, die die Privatsphäre einzelner in der Wohnung einschränken.
