Introduction
Smart homes are equipped with various sensors and devices that can collect data on energy consumption, temperature, humidity, and other parameters [1]. This data can be used to optimize energy, reduce energy waste, and improve the comfort of residents. Machine learning techniques have been widely used to analyze this data and make predictions about energy utilization patterns [2] [11].
Smart homes are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer convenience and energy efficiency to homeowners. The use of machine learning techniques has been proposed to optimize energy utilization in homes [3] [9]. Smart homes are houses equipped with advanced automation systems that allow occupants to control various devices and appliances using their smartphones or voice commands [4] [20]. Homes offer numerous benefits, including enhanced convenience, security, and energy efficiency. However, energy optimization is one of the major challenges of homes [5] [13]. Energy optimization is crucial as it helps to reduce energy bills, minimize carbon emissions, and prolong the lifespan of appliances.

The concept of Smart Homes has been gaining popularity in recent years, with the potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs for homeowners. One of the key challenges in Smart Home technology is optimizing energy utilization, which can be achieved through the use of machine learning techniques [6] [18]. Machine learning techniques have been proposed as a promising solution to the energy consumption optimization challenges. Machine learning techniques can learn from historical energy consumption data and make predictions about future consumption patterns. This enables the development of energy management systems that can optimize energy consumption based on occupancy patterns, weather conditions, and other factors [7][8]. The several machine learning techniques have been proposed and tested for optimizing energy utilization in homes, including deep learning, reinforcement learning, and decision trees.

Proposed Methodology
Data Collection: The first step in optimizing energy utilization in smart homes is to collect data about energy usage in the home. This can be done through smart meters or other devices that monitor energy usage.
Data Preprocessing: The collected data needs to be preprocessed to remove any noise, missing values, or outliers. This can be done using techniques like data cleaning, normalization, and feature scaling.
Feature Extraction: Next, important features related to energy consumption need to be extracted from the preprocessed data. This can be done using techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or Feature Selection.
Model Selection: Based on the extracted features, a suitable machine learning model needs to be selected. This can be done by evaluating different algorithms like Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, or Neural Networks.
Model Training: The selected machine learning model needs to be trained on the preprocessed data. This involves splitting the data into training and testing sets, and fitting the model to the training data.
Model Evaluation: The trained model needs to be evaluated using different performance metrics like Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), or Coefficient of Determination (R-squared). This step helps in identifying the best-performing model.
Model Optimization: The selected model needs to be optimized for better performance. This can be done using techniques like hyperparameter tuning, regularization, or ensemble learning.
Deployment: Once the optimized model is obtained, it can be deployed in the smart home system to optimize energy consumption. The model can be integrated with smart devices like thermostats, lighting systems, or appliances to predict energy upstage and optimize it in real-time.

Proposed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD)
Optimization algorithms are used in machine learning to find the optimal set of weights and biases that minimize the loss function. The goal is to train the model to make accurate predictions on new data. Here's an overview of a commonly used optimization algorithm called SGD.
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is a popular optimization algorithm that can be used to optimize energy consumption in smart homes using machine learning techniques. SGD is an iterative method that updates the model parameters based on the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters. The update rule for the parameters is as follows: ( + ) = ( ) − * ( ( ), , ) Where θ (t) = model parameters at iteration t α = learning rate L (θ (t), xi, yi) = loss function for the training example (xi, yi) ∇θ L (θ (t), xi, yi) = gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters at iteration t.
The SGD algorithm updates the model parameters using a single training example at a time, rather than using the entire training set. This makes the algorithm more efficient for large datasets.
To apply SGD to optimizing energy utilization in smart homes, research can use it to update the model parameters for our machine learning model. For example, research might use SGD to optimize the coefficients in a linear regression model that predicts energy consumption based on input factors such as temperature, humidity, and occupancy.
The steps for using SGD to optimize a machine learning model for energy utilization in smart homes are as follows: Algorithm: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) 1. Initialize the model parameters θ to random values. 2. For each training example (xi, yi): a. Compute the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters: ∇θ L(θ(t), xi, yi) b. Update the model parameters using the update rule: θ(t+1) = θ(t) -α * ∇θ L(θ(t), xi, yi) 3. Repeat step 2 for a fixed number of iterations or until convergence. By using SGD to optimize our machine learning model for energy utilization in smart homes, research can improve the accuracy of our predictions and reduce energy consumption. However, research must be careful to choose appropriate hyperparameters such as the learning rate and the number of iterations to avoid overfitting or underfitting the data.
SGD is a widely used optimization algorithm, but there are many other algorithms that can be used to optimize neural networks, such as Adam, Adagrad, and RMSprop. The choice of optimization algorithm depends on the problem at hand and the specific characteristics of the dataset.

By using machine learning techniques, homeowners can achieve significant energy savings, reduce their carbon footprint, and save money on utility bills.
