Abstract: A computer may receive editing instructions that specify one or more changes to filters in an existing access control list or a template for an access control list. Then, the computer may dynamically generate the clone access control list by applying the editing instructions to the existing access control list or the template for the access control list. For example, the computer may provide the editing instructions to a computer network device (such as a switch or a router) that are applied to the existing access control list or the template for the access control list while the computer network device is processing data packets. Alternatively, the computer may apply the editing instructions to the existing access control list or the template for the access control list that is not currently installed on the computer network device, and may provide the access control list to the computer network device.

In an example, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is controlled via a thermostat during a first time period according to a first temperature setpoint schedule including one or more temperature setpoints and a first usage amount of the HVAC system is monitored during the first time period. After it is determined that the first usage amount of the HVAC system during the first time period has met a first predefined HVAC runtime threshold criterion, a second temperature setpoint schedule is generated with at least one of the one or more temperature setpoints being adjusted to decrease energy usage by the HVAC system compared to the first temperature setpoint schedule. The HVAC system is then controlled via the thermostat during a second time period according to the second temperature setpoint schedule.
