1. A computing device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a computer-readable medium storing a plurality of computer-executable components that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of actions, the plurality of actions comprising:
receiving, from a user device, usage knowledge that is derived from usage information, the usage information including information collected from one or more programs on the user device that indicates an upcoming event scheduled fora plurality of participants to attend is in proximity to a group of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are accessing a network;
predicting a power consumption and network resource usage of each of particular IoT devices included in the group of IoT devices based upon the usage knowledge;
generating configuration update data based at least upon a predicted power consumption and network resource usage of each of the IoT devices; and
delivering, via the user device, the configuration update data to the IoT devices to at least one of minimize power consumption by the particular IoT devices or moderate network traffic load on the network by the particular IoT devices during the upcoming event scheduled for the plurality of participants to attend,
wherein an IoT device of the particular IoT devices is configured by the configuration update data to operate in a shutdown mode when the user device is designated as a local group management device (LGMD) that communicates with the network on behalf of the IoT devices.
