Identification of failed sensors in a system of interconnected devices

An apparatus for identifying failed sensors in a system of interconnected devices, said apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith and executable by the at least one processor, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code that receives data from a first plurality of sensors, each sensor being operatively coupled to a device within a system of interconnected devices within a living environment, wherein the system of interconnected devices comprise at least a stove, a refrigerator, a sink, and a light;
• computer readable program code that associates the data received with an activity of a user, wherein the activity comprises a living activity;
• computer readable program code that compares the data received with previously stored data associated with the activity of the user, wherein the previously stored data associated with the activity of the user comprises identification of a plurality of sensors that are triggered during performance of the activity and wherein the comparing comprises comparing the first plurality of sensors triggered during receipt of the activity of the user with a plurality of sensors identified as being triggered during a previous receipt of the activity of the user;
• computer readable program code that detects, based on the comparing, an anomaly associated with at least one of the first plurality of sensors corresponding to the activity, wherein the anomaly is based upon the data received from the at least one of the first plurality of sensors being different from the previously stored data;
• computer readable program code that records, at a data storage location, the anomaly, wherein the data storage location stores data associated with previously identified anomalies;
• computer readable program code that identifies a possible failed sensor using the recorded anomaly, wherein identifying a possible failed sensor comprises determining that more than one recorded anomaly has been associated with the at least one of the first plurality of sensors;
• and
• computer readable program code that performs an action in response to the identified possible failed sensor, wherein the action comprises storing information related to the possible failed sensor and aggregating anomalies associate with the possible failed sensor to identify a failed sensor and notify a user of the failed sensor.
