Theses and Dissertations
Driven by demand from both consumers and manufacturers alike, Internet of Things (IoT)
capabilities are being built into more products. Consumers want more control and access to their
devices, while manufacturers can find data gathered from IoT-capable products invaluable. In
this thesis, we use data from a growing fleet of IoT-connected boilers in the residential, lightcommercial, and medium-commercial ranges to demonstrate a framework for cluster initialization
and updating. We compare two methods of dynamically updating clusters: a sequential method
inspired by sequential K-means clustering and a cohesion-based method called DYNC. A predictive
artificial neural network system demonstrates the effectiveness of …
