A method of classifying home appliance electricity consumption is proposed in this paper. With the information retrieved from power signatures and harmonic features, the method excels at its systematic grouping capability of home appliances. It is also beneficial for residents to comprehend their home electricity variations. This proposed approach has been prototyped with hardware realization. Experimental results based on the tested appliance shows its potential of development for the application considered.
