Personalized communications

An apparatus for a security and/or automation system for a residence, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
• receive a request to compile a communication from a requestor, wherein the request comprises a delivery medium, a designated recipient, and one or more delivery triggers, wherein the designated recipient is different from the requestor, and the designated recipient is an occupant of the residence;
• compile the communication based at least in part on the receiving;
• determine a presence of a person proximate the residence during a predetermined time frame;
• upon determining the presence of the person, determining an identity of the person using one or more facial recognition techniques;
• authenticate the person as the designated recipient based at least in part on the identity of the person;
• receive, from the requestor, one or more scenarios associated with the one or more delivery triggers;
• determine that the one or more scenarios are satisfied based at least in part on authenticating the person as the designated recipient;
• determine an occurrence of one or more delivery triggers based at least in part on determining that the one or more scenarios are satisfied;
• notify the designated recipient based at least in part on the determining the occurrence of one or more delivery triggers, wherein the notifying comprises sounding a notification through the automation system;
• deliver the compiled communication to the designated recipient via the delivery medium;
• and
• provide confirmation of the delivering to the requestor of the communication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by a processor to:

• receive a request to compile a communication from a requestor, wherein the request comprises a delivery medium, a designated recipient, and one or more delivery triggers, wherein the designated recipient is different from the requestor, and the designated recipient is an occupant of the residence;
• compile the communication based at least in part on the receiving;
• determine a presence of a person proximate the residence during a predetermined time frame;
• upon determining the presence of the person, determining an identity of the person using one or more facial recognition techniques;
• authenticate the person as the designated recipient based at least in part on the identity of the person;
• receive, from the requestor, one or more scenarios associated with the one or more delivery triggers;
• determine that the one or more scenarios are satisfied based at least in part on authenticating the person as the designated recipient;
• determine an occurrence of one or more delivery triggers based at least in part on determining that the one or more scenarios are satisfied;
• notify the designated recipient based at least in part on the determining the occurrence of one or more delivery triggers, wherein the notifying comprises sounding a notification through the automation system;
• deliver the compiled communication to the designated recipient via the delivery medium;
• and
• provide confirmation of the delivering to the requestor of the communication.
