Live Event Stream — Smart Home

Smart Home AI Pipeline

Sensor Input

Temperature, motion, audio, video captured

On-Device ML

Local processing for privacy-sensitive data

Decision Engine

Learned preferences applied to actions

Event Emission

Every decision logged with full context

Query Smart Home AI Events

Thermostat learning patterns

SELECT * FROM events
WHERE event_id LIKE 'home.thermostat.%'
AND reason = 'learned_preference'

Camera detection accuracy

SELECT detection_type, AVG(confidence)
FROM events
WHERE event_id = 'home.camera.person_detected:1'
GROUP BY detection_type

Familiar face recognition log

SELECT timestamp, person_label, confidence
FROM events
WHERE event_id = 'home.doorbell.familiar_face:1'
AND home_id = ?

Energy optimization decisions

SELECT date, SUM(energy_saved_kwh)
FROM events
WHERE event_id = 'home.thermostat.eco_mode:1'
GROUP BY date

Before and After Observable Smart Home AI

Without Event Model

"Why did the thermostat change at 3am?"

No idea what camera is recording or why

Facial recognition feels invasive and opaque

Can't audit what data leaves the device

GDPR requests require manual investigation

With Event Model

Every temperature change traced with reasoning

Complete camera trigger audit trail

Facial recognition transparent and controllable

Full visibility into cloud vs. local processing

Automated privacy compliance reports

Why Observable Smart Home AI Matters

Privacy Transparency

Know exactly what data your smart home collects, processes, and stores about your family.

Facial Recognition Control

Audit every face detection, understand classification decisions, manage biometric data.

Learning Explanation

Understand why your thermostat changed, what patterns it learned, and how to correct it.

Energy Optimization Audit

Track exactly how much energy the system saves and why specific eco decisions were made.

Recording Transparency

Know every trigger that starts camera recording and where footage is stored.

Child Safety Compliance

Document that smart home AI respects children's privacy per COPPA requirements.

Regulatory Compliance

GDPR

Home data processing rights

CCPA

California privacy requirements

Illinois BIPA

Biometric data protection

COPPA

Children's privacy protection

Energy Star
