An auto-ethnography of living with smart home technology

This dataset contains an auto-ethnographic diary about installing and living with smart home technology, written over the course of 20 months from spring 2017 to September 2020. The language of the diary is Danish. The diary was written as part of the eCAPE project (New energy consumer roles and smart technologies – actors, practices and equality) running from 2018-2023. eCAPE is financed by the European Research Council (ERC), as an ERC-advanced grant, under the European Union´s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement number 786643). The project is led by Professor Kirsten Gram-Hanssen from Department of the Built Environment, Aalborg University, and she is also the author of the diary. The smart technology which are included in the diary includes a smart alarm, including some control of lighting, smart control of heating and an electric vehicle. The name of the writer, and her husband, is not anonymized, and both have given full consent to this material being published as part of FAIR data principles. To this date, the auto-ethnography data have been analyzed in one journal paper, where further details about the diary writing as well as analysis of this related to learning process is described in:
