With sensors getting smaller and cheaper, smart sensor equipped objects will become an integral, preinstalled part of the future home. With this article we will reflect on Sensing Home, a design tool to explore sensors in the home together with people. Sensing Home allows people to integrate sensors and connectivity into mundane domestic products in order to make them smart. As such, it can be used by people to experience and explore sensors in the home and daily life. They may explore possible use cases, appropriate sensor technology, and learn about this technology through use. At the same time people may also be empowered to understand the issues and implications of sensors in the home. We present the design rationale of Sensing Home, five usage examples of how Sensing Home allowed people to explore sensor technology, and the deployment of Sensing Home together with a self-developed group discussion method to empower people to understand the benefits and pitfalls of sensors in their home. The article ends with a brief reflection whether Sensing Home is a probe or a toolkit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/icom-2018-0013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,7]],"date-time":"2018-08-07T04:28:57Z","timestamp":1533616137000},"page":"153-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Sensing Home: Designing an Open Tool That Lets People Collect and Interpret Simple Sensor Data from Their Homes"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Arne","family":"Berger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Albrecht","family":"Kurze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u00f6ren","family":"Totzauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Storz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Lefeuvre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Bischof","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mira","family":"Freiermuth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"38869 Technische Universit\u00e4t Chemnitz , Computer Science , Chair Media Informatics , Chemnitz , 09107 , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025120518291281562_j_icom-2018-0013_ref_001","unstructured":"Airqualityegg. https:\/\/airqualityegg.wickeddevice.com\/, accessed January 6, 2018."},{"key":"2025120518291281562_j_icom-2018-0013_ref_002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Berger, Arne, Kevin Lefeuvre, Albrecht Kurze, Michael Storz, S\u00f6ren Totzauer, and Andreas Bischof. 2018.
