Solution

  • Considering such a home of the future you could think of actors like:

    • User using the appliances from home
    • User using the appliances remotely
    • e.g. fire squad brigade - get connected to smart smoke detection etc.
    • e.g. online grocery retailer sytem - gets access to fridge's api and can automatically send a courier to the home
    • e.g. water provider system - gets access to detailed data about water usage, can suggest changes to the plan e.g. based on time of the day etc.

    • and on and on...

    Remember on UML diagram if more users playthe same role you just indicate this as one actor
