Smart Home Automation with Smart Metering Using ZigBee Technology and Deep Belief Networks – Optimization Using MB-ABCOA Algorithm

In the domain of smart homes and smart metering, ZigBee technology plays a pivotal role within the energy efficiency of homes, albeit facing challenges such as packet transmission delays and uneven energy consumption among nodes. To address these issues while emphasizing energy efficiency, we propose the Energy-efficient ZigBee Directionally Opportunistic Short-cut Trees Routings (EP-ZDOSTR), which optimizes network lifetimes and throughput by prioritizing energy-efficient packet transmission. Complemented by a hybrid Monarchy Butterfly and Artificial Bees Colonies Optimizations Algorithms (MB-ABCOA) approach, EP-ZDOSTR demonstrates significant improvements in network performances metric, including higher throughputs, increased packet delivery ratios, reduced transmission delays, and minimized energy consumption. Comparisons with existing methods like ZigBee shortcut tree routing (ZSTR), ZigBee opportunistic shortcut tree routing (ZOSTR), and Energy Efficient shortcut tree routing (EPSTR) validate its superiority in enhancing overall network efficiency and reliability. Furthermore, integrating ZigBee with Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) holds promise for further enhancing network intelligence, enabling predictive analysis of energy usage patterns and optimization of network operations, thereby advancing the capabilities of smart home in the context of smart homes and metering systems within the IoT landscape.
