1. A method, comprising:
identifying a device type associated with a device, the device associated with first account data, the device type associated with device states of the device;
selecting a subset of reference devices based at least in part on:
the subset of reference devices being associated with the device type, the subset of reference devices associated with second account data related to a group of users that differs from a user associated with the first account data, the subset of reference devices being situated in environments that differ from an environment of the device; and
for a reference device of the subset of reference devices, a degree of similarity between a reference usage pattern and a usage pattern associated with the device;
determining a ratio of devices associated with the subset of the reference devices, the ratio indicating:
a first number of the subset of reference devices in a first state at a time; and
determining a second number of the subset of reference devices in a second state at the time; and
generating a recommendation indicating a schedule for performing actions, at one or more future times, wherein the schedule is generated based at least in part on the ratio of (1) the subset of reference devices that are associated with the second account data that are in the first state to (2) the subset of reference devices that are associated with the second account data that are in the second state.
