Abstract:
Smart home automation systems aim to improve the comfort and convenience of users in their living environment. However, adapting automation to user needs remains a challenge. Indeed, many systems rely on hand-crafted routines. This paper presents an original smart home architecture leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and user preferences to push the boundaries of personalisation and intuitiveness in the home environment. This article explores a human-centred approach that uses the general knowledge provided by LLMs to learn and facilitate interactions with the environment. The advantages of the proposed model are demonstrated on a set of scenarios, as well as a comparative analysis with various LLM implementations. Some metrics are assessed to determine the system’s ability to maintain comfort, safety, and user preferences. The paper details the approach to real-world implementation and evaluation. The proposed approach shows up to 52.3% increase in average grade, and with an average processing time reduced by 35.6% on Starling 7B Alpha LLM. In addition, performance is 26.4% better than the results of the larger models without preferences, with almost 20 times faster processing time.
