The integrated security system includes a touchscreen providing security keypad functionality as well as content management and presentation, and is used as a security system interface and an interface for interacting with a network. The integrated security system delivers remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection and complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video or pictures and control home devices via a personal web portal, mobile phone, or other client device. Users can receive notifications of detected events via electronic message. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: a gateway device located at a premises and in communication with a premises management system located at the premises, wherein the premises management system comprises a sensor located at the premises; a touchscreen device located at the premises and in communication with the gateway device, wherein the touchscreen device comprises a plurality of user interfaces comprising: a premises management interface configured to manage the premises management system, and a network interface configured to access content of a remote network; and a remote server located external to the premises and in communication, via the gateway device, with the touchscreen device, wherein the remote server is configured to: receive an automation rule indicating an action to perform in response to receiving an indication of an event associated with the sensor of the premises management system, and transmit the automation rule to the touchscreen device, wherein the touchscreen device is further configured to store the automation rule and to cause, based on the automation rule, the action to be performed. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the premises management system comprises a security system. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the event comprises a change of a sensor state and the action comprises changing a state of an automation device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the event comprises a change of a camera state and the action comprises outputting one or more of a video or an image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the remote server being configured to receive the automation rule comprises the remote server being configured to receive, from a user device, the automation rule. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the remote server is further configured to store the automation rule. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the gateway device is further configured to: receive, from the premises management system, the indication of the event; and transmit, to the touchscreen device, the indication of the event. ### Claim 8 A system comprising: a touchscreen device located at a premises and configured to manage a premises management system comprising a sensor located at the premises; and a remote server located external to the premises and in communication with the touchscreen device, wherein the remote server is configured to: receive an automation rule indicating an action to perform in response to receiving an indication of an event associated with the sensor of the premises management system, and transmit the automation rule to the touchscreen device, wherein the touchscreen device is configured to store the automation rule and cause, based on the automation rule, the action to be performed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the premises management system comprises a security system. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the event comprises a change of a sensor state and the action comprises changing a state of an automation device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the event comprises a change of a camera state and the action comprises outputting one or more of a video or an image. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the remote server being configured to receive the automation rule comprises the remote server being configured to receive, from a user device, the automation rule. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the remote server is further configured to store the automation rule. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, further comprising a gateway device in communication with the remote server and the touchscreen device, wherein the gateway device is configured to: receive, from the premises management system, the indication of the event; and transmit, to the touchscreen device, the indication of the event. ### Claim 15 A method comprising: receiving, by a security server located external to a premises, an automation rule, wherein the automation rule comprises an indication of an action to perform in response to receiving an indication of an event associated with a sensor located at the premises, wherein the sensor is associated with a premises management system located at the premises; transmitting, to a touchscreen device located at the premises, the automation rule; receiving event data associated with the sensor; and causing, based on the event data and the automation rule, the touchscreen device to perform the action. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein causing, based on the event data, the touchscreen device to perform the action in response to receiving the indication of the event comprises transmitting the event data to the touchscreen device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein receiving event data associated with the sensor comprises receiving an indication of a change of a sensor state, and wherein causing the touchscreen device to perform the action comprises causing the touchscreen device to change a state of an automation device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein receiving event data associated with the sensor comprises receiving an indication of a change of a camera state, and wherein causing the touchscreen device to perform the action comprises causing the touchscreen device to output one or more of a video or an image. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein receiving the automation rule comprises receiving, from a user device, the automation rule. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the premises management system comprises a security system.
