Internet of Things, ambient intelligence and context awareness approaches motivated the development of IoH. The platform involves six layers, responsible by connectivity, persistency, unification, Internet of Things integration, subsystems integration and user interface. The integrated subsystems involve intelligent systems for light control, television brightness control, desk light control, persons counting and air conditioner control. The IoH platform is then tested for a real building, and results and conclusions are obtained. Different intelligent methods and technologies are used, form the use of a diversity of sensors, actuators, and controllers and processing units to a set of artificial intelligence approaches varying from machine learning and optimization algorithms to the use of sensor fusion and computer vision. The use of IoH day-by-day demonstrated an intelligent performance for the real building occupants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi11030058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,4]],"date-time":"2019-03-04T05:45:36Z","timestamp":1551678336000},"page":"58","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["IoH: A Platform for the Intelligence of Home with a Context Awareness and Ambient Intelligence Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8597-3383","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Gomes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), P-4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), P-4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0968-7879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aria","family":"Jozi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), P-4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), P-4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lucas","family":"Paiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IFSC\u2014Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina (Campus Florian\u00f3polis Centro), 88020-300 Florian\u00f3polis, Santa Catarina, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4560-9544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zita","family":"Vale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GECAD\u2014Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development, Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), P-4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compeleceng.2015.01.019","article-title":"Raspberry Pi as a Sensor Web node for home automation","volume":"44","year":"2015","journal-title":"Comput.
