We met the Sphere project group in the University of Bristol (16th November 2017), who have been working on smart home technologies.They arranged a one day workshop for us explaining the devices they have built and the research they have done using the devices. These devices monitor the environment (e.g. light, humidity, water usage), movement and location (e.g. through video). We also visited one of the smart homes they have built to test their sensors in order to understand how the installation happens. We are in the discussions with them to get their devices and to do test runs with our participants.
