Analytics engines for IoT devices

An apparatus comprising:

• logic configured to store usage data related to consumption of at least one physical resource by a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in an IoT device group;
• logic configured to receive, from a requesting device, a request for trend data related to the consumption of the at least one physical resource by the plurality of IoT devices in the IoT device group;
• logic configured to retrieve at least a portion of the stored usage data related to the consumption of the at least one physical resource by the plurality of IoT devices;
• logic configured to calculate the trend data based on at least the retrieved portion of the usage data related to the consumption of the at least one physical resource by the plurality of IoT devices;
• and
• logic configured to transmit the calculated trend data to the requesting device, wherein the requesting device is configured to adjust one or more parameters in at least one of the plurality of IoT devices in the IoT device group using the calculated trend data.
