A facility employing systems, methods, and/or techniques for dynamically and adaptively configuring configurable energy consuming and producing devices (e.g., smart energy devices) based on user profiles and user presence information is disclosed. In some embodiments, the facility periodically detects the presence of users, and retrieves preference information for those users. For each of one or more configurable energy devices in the area, the facility generates a combined setting based on the preferences of each user present and adjusts the devices based on the combined settings. For example, if User A, User B, and User C are present in a room and User A's preferred temperature setting is 75° F., User B's preferred temperature setting is 68° F., and User C's preferred temperature setting is 70° F., the facility may generate a combined setting for a thermostat by taking the average value of the users in the room.

1. A computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, storing computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a computing system having a memory and a processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising: receiving device preference information for each of a plurality of devices from each of a plurality of users, each device having an associated region; andfor each of the plurality of devices, determining a number of users in the region associated with the device,determining that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold is greater than zero, andin response to determining that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds the predetermined threshold, for each user present in the region associated with the device, retrieving a setting preference for the device,generating a combined setting based on the retrieved setting preferences, andsending an indication of the generated combined setting to the device. 2. The computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is a fan and a retrieved setting preference for the fan is a fan speed. 3. The computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is an audio-playing device, wherein a retrieved setting preference for the audio-playing device is a music genre, and wherein the combined setting for the audio-playing device is based at least in part on an intersection of the retrieved setting preferences for the audio-playing device. 4. The computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, of claim 1, the operations further comprising: for each user present in the region associated with the device, retrieving a weighting factor for the user. 5. The computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, of claim 4 wherein the combined setting for a first device is generated according to the formula ∑i=1n(preferencei·weighti)∑i=1nweighti wherein n represents the number of users present in a region associated with the first device, preferencei represents a setting preference for the first device for the ith user, and weighti represents a weighting factor for the ith user. 6. The computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, of claim 4 wherein the combined setting for a first device is generated according to the formula ∑i=1nweighti∑i=1nweightipreferencei wherein n represents the number of users present in a region associated with the first device, preferencei represents a setting preference for the first device for the ith user, and weighti represents a weighting factor for the ith user. 7. A method, performed by a computing system having a memory and a processor, the method comprising: receiving, by the processor, device preference information for each of a plurality of devices from each of a plurality of users, each device having an associated region; andfor each of the plurality of devices, determining, by the processor, a number of users in the region associated with the device,determining, by the processor, that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold is greater than zero, andin response to determining that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds the predetermined threshold, for each user present in the region associated with the device, retrieving, by the processor, a setting preference for the device,generating, by the processor, a combined setting based on the retrieved setting preferences, andsending, by the processor, an indication of the generated combined setting. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is a fan and a retrieved setting preference for the fan is a fan speed. 9. The method of claim 7 wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is an audio-playing device, wherein a retrieved setting preference for the audio-playing device is a music genre, and wherein the combined setting for the audio-playing device is based at least in part on an intersection of the retrieved setting preferences for the audio-playing device. 10. The method of claim 7, further comprising: for each user present in the region associated with the device, retrieving, by the processor, a weighting factor for the user. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein the combined setting for a first device is generated according to the formula ∑i=1n(preferencei·weighti)∑i=1nweighti wherein n represents the number of users present in a region associated with the first device, preferencei represents a setting preference for the first device for the ith user, and weighti represents a weighting factor for the ith user. 12. The method of claim 10 wherein the combined setting for a first device is generated according to the formula ∑i=1nweighti∑i=1nweightipreferencei wherein n represents the number of users present in a region associated with the first device, preferencei represents a setting preference for the first device for the ith user, and weighti represents a weighting factor for the ith user. 13. A computing system comprising: one or more processors;a memory;at least one processor of the one or more processors configured to receive device preference information for each of a plurality of devices from each of a plurality of users, each device having an associated region; andat least one processor of the one or more processors configured to, for each of the plurality of devices, determine a number of users in the region associated with the device,determine that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold is greater than zero, andin response to determining that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds the predetermined threshold, for each user present in the region associated with the device, retrieve a setting preference for the device,generate a combined setting based on the retrieved setting preferences, andsend an indication of the generated combined setting. 14. The computing system of claim 13 wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is a fan and a retrieved setting preference for the fan is a fan speed. 15. The computing system of claim 13 wherein at least one of the plurality of devices is an audio-playing device, wherein a retrieved setting preference for the audio-playing device is a music genre, and wherein the combined setting for the audio-playing device is based at least in part on an intersection of the retrieved setting preferences for the audio-playing device. 16.
