Abstract
An energy usage computing system includes one or more processors that are configured to receive data corresponding to energy usage of a plurality of devices within a property from a plurality of sensors. The energy usage computing system is also configured to analyze the data to determine an amount of energy used for at least one device of the plurality of devices, project an estimated cost of operation for the at least one device based at least in part on the determined amount of energy used for the at least one device, compare the estimated cost of operation for the at least one device to a threshold, and perform a cost-saving action in response to determining that the estimated cost of operation for the at least one device is above the threshold.
