Methods and systems for control of home automation activity based on user characteristics

A television receiver, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a wireless transceiver communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving, at a television receiver, an input from a user including a set of preferences associated with a home automation system, wherein the set of preferences includes a weight associated with a first home automation device in a first location and a weight associated with a second home automation device in a second location;
• generating, by the television receiver, a user profile using the set of preferences, wherein the user profile includes settings associated with a user and the home automation system, and wherein the profile includes home automation settings associated with the first home automation device and home automation settings associated with the second home automation device;
• communicating, by the television receiver, with the first home automation device to determine that a mobile device associated with the user is located in the first location;
• transmitting, by the television receiver, the user profile to the mobile device associated with the user, wherein when the user profile is received, the mobile device communicates with the first home automation device to apply, using the weight associated with the first home automation device and the weight associated with the second home automation device, the home automation settings associated with the first home automation device to the first home automation device;
• determining, by the second home automation device, that the mobile device has moved from the first location to the second location using data collected by the second home automation device;
• determining, at the television receiver, that the mobile device has been at the second location for a period of time;
• determining, by the television receiver, that the period of time exceeds a predetermined threshold period of time;
• automatically determining, using the data collected by the second home automation device, an updated weight associated with the first home automation device, an updated weight associated with the second home automation device, and an updated threshold period of time, wherein the data collected by the second home automation device is associated with one or more actions taken by the user in the second location;
• and
• in response to determining that the period of time exceeds the updated threshold period of time, applying, using the updated weight associated with the first home automation device and the updated weight associated with the second home automation device, the home automation settings associated with the second home automation device to the second home automation device.

• and
• in response to determining that the period of time exceeds the updated threshold period of time, applying, using the updated weight associated with the first home automation device and the updated weight associated with the second home automation device, the home automation settings associated with the second home automation device to the second home automation device.
