Systems and methods for automatically responding to a fire

A system for responding to a fire on a property, the property populated with a hardware controller in communication with a plurality of devices, each of the plurality of devices configured to monitor various conditions associated with the property, the plurality of devices including a smart door including a corresponding smart hinge, the system comprising:

• a plurality of transceivers adapted to communicate data;
• a memory adapted to store non-transitory computer executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors adapted to interface with the plurality of transceivers, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the non-transitory computer executable instructions to cause the system to:
• receive, by the plurality of transceivers, a first set of sensor data from at least one of the plurality of devices, the first set of sensor data indicative of the fire being present on the property;
• analyze, by the one or more processors, the first set of sensor data to determine a location of the fire on the property;
• compare, by the one or more processors, the location of the fire to a list of the plurality of devices, the list including for each device at least one of a location of the device or a set of functions that the device is capable of performing to mitigate risks associated with the fire;
• based upon the comparison, generate, by the one or more processors, one or more instructions corresponding to a set of actions to be performed by at least a portion of the plurality of devices, wherein at least one action of the set of actions is for the smart door to cause the smart hinge to rotate in a manner that opens or closes the smart door and wherein each instruction includes (i) an identity of a particular device that performs a particular action from the set of actions and (ii) an action code associated with the particular action;
• and
• direct or control, by the one or more processors, the at least the portion of the plurality of devices to perform the set of actions by transmitting the one or more instructions to the plurality of devices over the first communication network, wherein transmitting an instruction causes the plurality of devices to analyze the identity in the instruction to determine whether to perform the action associated with the action code.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions, that when executed cause one or more processors to:

• receive, via a first communication network, a first set of sensor data from at least one of the plurality of devices, the first set of sensor data indicative of the fire being present on the property;
• analyze, by the one or more processors, the first set of sensor data to determine a location of the fire on the property;
• compare, by the one or more processors, the location of the fire to a list of the plurality of devices, the list including for each device at least one of a location of the device or a set of functions that the device is capable of performing to mitigate risks associated with the fire, the list including a smart door including a corresponding smart hinge;
• based upon the comparison, generate, by the one or more processors, one or more instructions corresponding to a set of actions to be performed by at least a portion of the plurality of devices, wherein at least one action of the set of actions is for the smart door to cause the smart hinge to rotate in a manner that opens or closes the smart door and wherein each instruction includes (i) an identity of a particular device that performs a particular action from the set of actions and (ii) an action code associated with the particular action;
• and
• direct or control, by the one or more processors, the at least the portion of the plurality of devices to perform the set of actions by transmitting the one or more instructions to the plurality of devices over the first communication network, wherein transmitting an instruction causes the plurality of devices to analyze the identity in the instruction to determine whether to perform the action associated with the action code.
