Abstract

The increased adoption of IoT-based Smart Home systems in Indonesia has resulted in a growing volume of device-level energy data, opening up opportunities for the development of predictive models to support efficient household electricity consumption. However, challenges related to accuracy, interpretability, and data privacy remain a major concern, especially when data are distributed across multiple devices. This study evaluates the performance of four tree-based ensemble models, namely Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, and LightGBM, in centralized learning and federated learning scenarios using the Indonesia Smart Home Dataset. After undergoing feature preprocessing and refinement, including the removal of Sofa Pressure and Bed Pressure due to high noise, each model was trained and evaluated using MAE, MSE, and RMSE metrics. Federated learning was implemented through the Federated Averaging (FedAvg) algorithm to maintain data privacy without the need to transfer raw data between devices. The results show that LightGBM consistently provides the best performance in both scenarios and demonstrates resilience to data fragmentation and heterogeneity. Although there was a slight increase in error in federated learning, the error values remained within an acceptable range. SHAP and LIME analyses revealed that high-power devices such as air conditioners, water pumps, rice cookers, lights, and refrigerators had the greatest contribution.
