Identified presence detection in and around premises

A method for monitoring activity in a physical premises, comprising:

• receiving, by a presence detection system, sensor signals from at least two different types of non-video and non-audio sensor devices that measure physical attributes;
• determining, by the presence detection system, upon detection of a presence of an entity moving through the physical premises, based on the sensor signals from the at least two different types of non-video and non-audio sensor devices, a movement flow indicating a sequence of events associated with the entity interacting with the at least two different types of non-video and non-audio sensor devices;
• comparing, by the presence detection system, the movement flow detected based on the sensor signals from the at least two different types of non-video and non-audio sensor devices to a plurality of existing movement flow records, each of the plurality of existing movement flow records indicating a particular sequence of events associated with a particular profile record and a particular entity;
• retrieving, by the presence detection system, based on the comparing, a matching profile record associated with one of the plurality of existing movement flow records;
• identifying the moving entity associated with the matching profile record;
• and
• controlling, by the presence detection system, an ambient environmental condition of the physical premises based on a routine behavior of the moving entity as indicated by the matching profile record of the moving entity, including sending one or more control signals by the presence detection system to at least one device that controls the ambient environmental condition.

A presence detection system configured to:

• receive sensor signals from a plurality of non-video and non-audio sensor devices;
• detect, from processing of the sensor signals from the plurality of non-video and non-audio sensor devices, a presence of an entity moving through a premises;
• determine, based on the sensor signals from the plurality of non-video and non-audio sensor devices, a movement flow indicating a sequence of events associated with the moving entity interacting with the plurality of non-video and non-audio sensor devices;
• compare the movement flow detected based on the sensor signals from the plurality of non-video and non-audio sensor devices to a plurality of existing movement flow records, each of the plurality of existing movement flow records indicating a particular sequence of events associated with a particular profile record and a particular entity;
• determine, based on the comparing, whether a matching profile record exists within the plurality of existing movement flow records, wherein the matching profile record is associated with one of the plurality of existing movement flow records;
• identify the moving entity associated with the matching profile record;
• and
• control an ambient environmental condition of the premises based on a routine behavior of the moving entity as indicated by the matching profile record of the moving entity, including sending one or more control signals by the presence detection system to at least one device that controls the ambient environmental condition.
