Dataset of usage pattern and energy analysis of an Internet of Things-enabled ceiling fan

Many electrical appliances have progressed from sheer prototypes to viable products by being automated with the help of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT). In this data driven century, there aren't many data-centric solutions for the effective use of residential and commercial ceiling fans. For the said reason, sensors were installed on a remote-controlled BLDC ceiling fan, and a large amount of user data with environmental indicators such as temperature and humidity, was collected. This data along with the fan speed was logged to a cloud server over Wi-Fi using a Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller. The raw data consists of timestamp, temperature, humidity, and fan speed. The data is logged depending on the change of any parameter rather than a specific interval. The logged data is then visualized on the cloud server to monitor the usage patterns of the appliance and its subsequent energy consumption. The dataset is comprised of the fan data from the bedroom, living room, and lounge obtained by the resident's consent. This data is useful for data scientists, environmentalists, fan manufacturers, architects, social scientists, and several other field enthusiasts. The data can be analyzed based on monthly average temperature and humidity energy consumed, operational time per day or month and monthly/weekly summary of usage. Furthermore, by applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms on such data, it is feasible to extract patterns that indicate the appliance usage and identify changes in the daily routine. Many machine learning techniques can be applied on the dataset to introduce intelligent control of the appliance for adaptable operation without compromising on the comfort level of the user.
