Summary: As the demand for sensors increases with the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities applications, the cost of infrastructure and maintenance also increases, leading to performance degradation in communication and monitoring of connected devices. To address this, this paper proposes using machine learning models as virtual sensors to replace physical sensors. Through extensive research and simulation comparisons, the most accurate model can be selected. The paper also introduces a lightweight IoT platform running on a Raspberry Pi, equipped with both physical and virtual sensors. Evaluation results in a smart home scenario show promising applicability of the proposed methodology.
