With the development of the Internet of Things for smart grid, the requirement for appliance monitoring has become an important topic. The first and most important step in appliance monitoring is to identify the type of appliance. Most of the existing appliance identification platforms are cloud based, thus they consume large computing resources and memory. Therefore, it is necessary to explore an edge identification platform with a low cost. In this work, a novel appliance identification edge platform for data gathering, capturing and labeling is proposed. Experiments show that this platform can achieve an average appliance identification accuracy of 98.5% and improve the accuracy of non-intrusive load disaggregation algorithms.
