Abstract
We present SenseLess, a hybrid anomaly detection framework for smart homes that, during the training phase, automatically labels images without manual annotation by combining sensor-guided detection, self-supervised visual clustering, and unsupervised multi-sensor delay estimation for precise alignment. During operation, the system relies primarily on non-vision sensors and activates a confidence-aware vision model only under low-confidence, thereby preserving privacy while maintaining adaptability. Evaluated in real home monitoring, SenseLess achieved an average label coverage of 97.65% with 94.9% accuracy and reduced vision usage to less than 4% of wall-clock operating time. Calibration mechanisms and minimal configuration requirements support scalability and deployment across diverse residential environments.
