Sparse NILM

Copyright (c) 2015 by Stephen Makonin

The super-state hidden Markov model disaggregator that uses a sparse Viterbi algorithm for decoding. This project contains the source code that was use for my IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid journal paper.

2016 May 2 Update: This code is able to run on a Raspberry Pi 2B+ and 3. If you have a Rainforest EMU2 you can have the RPi communicate with your smart meter and perform disaggregation in real-time. Read the piNILM.md document for details on how to do this.
