A method and system for determining a customised heating schedule for a water heater is disclosed. The method is realised by means of a sensor that is non-invasively arranged at an outlet pipe of the water heater, which is periodically sampled. In response to detecting a first predefined signal, the start of a hot water usage event is identified. Subsequently, and in response to detecting a second predefined signal, the end of a hot water usage event is identified. The time and duration of each hot water usage event is recorded in a digital memory and a usage profile of the water heater, indicating usage times at which water in the heater should be at a usage temperature is updated. Based on the usage profile, a customised heating schedule for the water heater is determined. |
