無論為了解決環境議題而降低能源消耗或是為了節省用電支出，提昇用電意識是最根本的解決方法。提昇用電意識可視為增加基本用電常識與培養優良用電態度進而改善用電行為的過程，電力資訊回饋是提昇用電意識的研究熱門議題。隨著網路發展與資訊進步，人們更容易取得並使用用電資訊回饋裝置如智慧電表，然而只用總用電資訊往往無法讓人輕易了解自己的用電行為，許多研究提出以電器為基本單位回饋用電資訊可以使人對於用電更有感。因此，本研究目的在於探討以電器用量為基礎的能源回饋技術是否可以使人們提昇用電意識，為了獲取各電器使用資訊，我們延續了前人實作之電器辨識演算法並整合至具採集電力特徵值功能的智慧插座，最後結合網頁呈現出電器用量回饋，同時我們挑選了兩種市面上功能相近的智慧插座裝置，並藉以評估三種裝置的使用者體驗與用電意識提昇程度。

Whether to reduce energy consumption to solve environmental issues or save electricity expenditure, motivating electricity consumption awareness is the essential solution. The growth of electricity awareness can be regarded as a process of increasing basic electricity usage knowledge and cultivating good electricity usage attitudes to improve electricity usage behavior. With the development of the Internet and the advancement of information, it has become easier for people to obtain and use electrical consumption feedback devices such as smart meters. However, it is often impossible for people to easily understand their electricity consumption behavior using only total electricity consumption information. Many studies have suggested that using appliance-based feedback electricity consumption information can motivate people's awareness. The purpose of this research is to explore whether energy feedback technology can increase people's awareness of electricity usage. This study continued the previous implementation of smart sockets with integrated appliance identification algorithms combined with web pages to present appliance-based feedback. Simultaneously, we selected two smart socket devices with similar functions on the market and evaluated the three devices User experience and increased awareness of electricity consumption.
