One simply can't tell the difference between a place where owners are at home and a place where they aren't from the average use in 3-5 min intervals.

Don't be so sure... The regular spikes are the fridge cycling.. Can you tell when I was home and when I wasn't?

No... There are many things that can produce such a pattern. Hot tub, electric water heater, HVAC blower, radiant floor heater...

Or you could be like me and have numerous computer devices running when you are not home; i.e.: the x86 pfsense box in my basement, the custom built dual qam, dual ota tuner media center (connected to a hava box and Dish ViP722), the file server with multiple hdds...

Then there is the water heater and heat that runs off the oil burner...

Eh, this doesn't seem practical.
