The control system subsequently receives further data records from the devices and classifies them by allocating the data records to one or more clusters of the data clusters based on the cluster specification data. The control system then controls the devices in dependence on the cluster allocation. The cluster specification data defines a plurality of data clusters relating to the data records, the data clusters being derived by the remote processing system based on the transmitted data. The devices may comprise IoT devices, thermostats or sensors for metering electricity, gas or other utility consumption and the data records may include energy consumption information.
