随着智能家居技术的日益普及，居民面临的挑战是如何理解他们的家庭可以收集的数据，以配置有利于他们日常生活的自动化行为。目前的商业智能家居界面通常提供关于单个设备的信息，而不是对家庭行为的更全面的概述。为了降低智能家居数据的复杂性，并将其更好地融入居民的生活，我们转向了熟悉的日历隐喻，并开发了我们的智能家居界面Casaldom。为了研究这个概念并评估我们的目标，以促进对智能家居数据的理解，我们创建了一个原型，并在两个商业智能家居中安装了一个月。我们在本文中提出的结果是基于我们对来自问卷调查，半结构化访谈，参与者驱动的音频和屏幕截图反馈以及与我们系统的记录交互的用户数据的分析。我们的研究结果揭示了这种隐喻的优点和缺点，新兴的使用模式，隐私问题和信息可视化的挑战。我们进一步报告了我们通过这项工作揭示的设计和开放挑战的影响。
With the growing adoption of smart home technologies, inhabitants are faced with the challenge of making sense of the data that their homes can collect to configure automated behaviors that benefit their routines. Current commercial smart home interfaces usually provide information on individual devices instead of a more comprehensive overview of a home's behavior. To reduce the complexity of smart home data and integrate it better into inhabitants' lives, we turned to the familiar metaphor of a calendar and developed our smart home interface Casalendar. In order to investigate the concept and evaluate our goals to facilitate the understanding of smart home data, we created a prototype that we installed in two commercial smart homes for a month. The results we present in this paper are based on our analysis of user data from questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, participant-driven audio and screenshot feedback as well as logged interactions with our system. Our findings exposed advantages and disadvantages of this metaphor, emerging usage patterns, privacy concerns and challenges for information visualization. We further report on implications for design and open challenges we revealed through this work.
