The ECO data set contains smart meter data (at 1 Hz) from 6 households in Switzerland collected over a period of 8 months. It further contains plug data of 6 to 10 plugs per household (also measured at 1 Hz) and information about the occupancy of people in the house (indicated through a tablet PC that was located next to the entrance door). It is currently being used by >40 researchers
The UMass smart* data set includes several compressed .tar files for each home. And each one of them contains several csv-Excel files for every day and a Format file describing the attributes name.
