Outdoor furniture monitoring

A computer-implemented method for determining whether an item located at an outdoor location of a property is being moved comprising:

• receiving, by a monitoring control unit of a monitoring system, weather data that corresponds to at least one weather condition at the location where the monitoring system monitors the item that is located at the outdoor location of the property and that includes a motion beacon;
• based on the received weather data, determining, by the monitoring control unit, a motion tolerance that corresponds to the at least one weather condition for determining whether a force other than weather caused a movement of the item;
• receiving, by the monitoring control unit, from the motion beacon, motion data that indicates motion of the item;
• comparing, by the monitoring control unit, the motion data to the motion tolerance;
• based on comparing the motion data to the motion tolerance, determining, by the monitoring control unit, that the motion data satisfies the motion tolerance;
• and
• based on determining that the motion data satisfies the motion tolerance, performing the monitoring system event indicating that the force other than the weather caused the movement of the item;
• the monitoring system event comprises sending a notification to a client device of a resident of the property to indicate the item is being moved.
