Abstract: A system may include a resource distribution network and multiple control devices coupled to the resource distribution network. Each of the control devices may be configured to control a state of consumption of a resource from the resource distribution network. Each of the control devices may be further configured to receive data from a set of neighboring control devices, where the data indicates respective states of consumption of the resource associated with each of the neighboring control devices, determine an average state of consumption associated with the set of neighboring control devices based on the data, and calculate at least one threshold value based on the average state of consumption associated with the set of neighboring control devices. Controlling the state of consumption of the resource may be based on a comparison of the measured value to the at least one threshold value.
