T1 - Towards the Intelligent Home: Using Reinforcement-Learning for Optimal Heating Control T2 - Advances in Artificial Intelligence, Proceedings of the 36th Annual Conference on AI, volume 8077 of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence N2 - We propose a reinforcement learning approach to heating control in home automation, that can acquire a set of rules enabling an agent to heat a room to the desired temperature at a defined time while conserving as much energy as possible. Experimental results are presented that show the feasibility of our method.
