Abstract: Devices, like Smartphones, tablets, notebooks, desktop computers, smart televisions are all connected to our home network. Analyzing the traffic on a network has already been widely studied in order to be able to detect anomalies in the network such as broken hardware, bad routing schemes or intrusions. We claim that network traffic analysis however can also bring forward valuable information about the users of that network. In this paper we demonstrate with a practical applications how we can save energy by analysing the usage on the network, as network activity informs us about the activity of the user.
