### Dataset Description  
In the household EECP application, the effectiveness of the proposed metaheuristics-based LSTM network is validated with AEP and IHEPC datasets. The AEP dataset contains 29 parameters related to appliances' energy consumption, lights, and weather information (pressure, temperature, dew point, humidity, and wind speed), which are statistically depicted in Table 1. The AEP dataset includes data for four and half months of a residential house at a ten-minute resolution. In the AEP dataset, the data are recorded from the outdoor and indoor environments using a wireless sensor network, the outdoor data being acquired from a near-by airport [36]. The residential house contains one outdoor temperature sensor, nine indoor temperature sensors, and nine humidity sensors; one sensor is placed in the outdoor environment and seven humidity sensors are placed in the indoor environment. The humidity, outdoor pressure, temperature, dew point, and visibility are recorded at the near-by airport. The statistical information about the AEP dataset is depicted in Table 1.

In addition, the IHEPC dataset comprises of 2,075,259 instances, which are recorded from a residential house in France for five years (From December 2006 to November 2010) [37]. The IHEPC dataset includes nine attributes like voltage, minute, global intensity, month, global active power, year, global reactive power, day and hour. Three more variables are acquired from energy sensors: sub metering 1, 2, and 3 with proper meaning. The statistical information about IHEPC dataset is represented Table 2. The data samples of AEP and IHEPC datasets are graphically presented in the Figure 2.
