With the use of Azure Machine Learning based on R, eSmart Systems created long­ and short term predictions for energy load. Using these predictions, we control heated floors and water heating in households through home automation. The solution is entirely cloud based and is alive and running on the islands of Hvaler outside Fredrikstad, Norway. Join this session to see a real­life story of IoT, Azure and Machine Learning – a story of practical use of all the buzzwords and how it actually helps the utility lower costs.
