The invention discloses a method for obtaining home internal sensing data and an electric home appliance. The method for obtaining the home internal sensing data is applied to the electric home appliance side. The method includes the following steps that: a sensing data request is transmitted, wherein the sensing data request at least carries the type information of the sensing data set by the appliance; and a request response replied by the other electric home appliance is received, wherein the request response at least carries information of sensing data of a corresponding type which is replied by the other electric home appliance according to the sensing data request. With the method of the invention adopted, the query of the data information can be completed with broadcasting the request and replying the request response for once only required, and the efficiency of obtaining expected data can be improved.
