Supporting Participation in Smart Home Control: Beyond Trigger-Action Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
The user interfaces proposed so far for smart home control are usually based on event-condition-action rules, which are created by means of “ifthen” instructions. This is a form of trigger-action programming that software developers consider suitable to pure end users. However, it has been observed that end users who are not knowledgeable in computer programming find this approach unnatural and difficult to learn. Therefore, even though they want to participate in smart home configuration and tailoring, they do not actually participate. This paper discusses this problem and presents a mobile app that aims at fostering participation of all family members in smart home control. Further issues related to user participation in this domain are finally explored.
