摘要： A hot water supplier monitoring system includes a monitoring server monitoring hot water suppliers via a communication network. The hot water supplier supplies hot water by adjusting temperature of hot water heated by a heat exchange unit using combustion heat from combustion operation. The monitoring server accumulates operation data of combustion operation transmitted from the suppliers, and predicts and notifies malfunction occurrence for each supplier based on trend of change in the data over time. The data includes number of flame quenchings of the combustion unit in combustion operation. The monitoring server divides the suppliers into groups according to installation areas, compares the number of quenchings of same period among the groups, compares with previous number of quenchings of same group, and, for a specific group determined having an abnormal number of quenchings, excludes the data determined having an abnormal number of quenchings and predicts malfunction occurrence for each supplier.

摘要： Embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards systems and methods for regulating a water heater via a thermostat. The thermostat comprises a receiver configured to receive one or more inputs from one or more sensors configured to monitor, for a predefined duration of time, usage pattern of the water heater. Further, the thermostat comprises a controller configured to determine, via a machine learning neural network, a scheduling pattern for hot water based on the monitored usage pattern. The controller is further configured to operate the water heater based on the scheduling pattern.

摘要： A system and approach for developing a periodic water usage profile and demand for controlling a water heater. A mode may be selected for demand for a certain amount of water of a particular temperature range to be available for use from the water heater. Data on hot water usage may be collected and the usage profile and demand may be calculated from the data. The water heater may be programmed to operate in a certain fashion based on the usage profile and demand. A control knob may be on the water heater control to select a particular demand. Control of the water heater may be operated from a remote device connected in a wireless or wired fashion. An optimization program may be implemented in the control of the water heater for achieving one or more beneficial goals related to water heater performance and hot water production.
