When a user needs to intelligently control the water heater, the terminal can be connected with the water heater through the network interface. The connection mode may be WIFI (Wireless Fidelity, Wireless local area network) connection or bluetooth connection.
Under the condition that the terminal is connected with the water heater, a user can input a control instruction through an intelligent household appliance control interface of the terminal. After the water heater receives the control instruction, historical water consumption information of the user at each moment in a historical period, which is collected by a bottom plate of the water heater, is reported to the middleware. The middleware stores the historical water consumption information in the data warehouse according to a certain rule, and the data warehouse analyzes the water outlet flow in the water consumption information, so that the water consumption time period of the water heater in the historical reported data can be obtained.

The number of the water consumption time periods in the historical reported data is multiple, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.
The historical water use information may be stored in a preset time period, or the like. For example, one day is divided into a plurality of preset time periods, and the historical water consumption information of each preset time period is separately stored.
102, acquiring the heating starting time of a hot water circulation system of the water heater in the current period according to the water using time period and the predetermined heating time; wherein the heating starting time is earlier than the starting time of the water using time period;

The prompting mode can be that the prompting message is stored in the database in advance, and under the condition that the terminal is connected with the water heater in a network, the prompting message in the database is pushed to the terminal through a calling interface.
The prompt message can be broadcasted by the terminal in the forms of voice, characters and the like.
In this embodiment, when the hot water circulation system completes heating, a prompt message indicating that the hot water circulation system completes heating is timely pushed to the user to prompt the user that the user can use hot water.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, after the controlling the hot water circulation system to heat according to the outlet water temperature of the water heater in the water using time period, the heating start time, and the predetermined heating time period, the method further includes: and under the condition that the heating time of the hot water circulating system reaches the heating time, closing the hot water circulating system.
