Abstract
A computer-implemented method for remote presence security is described. In one embodiment, an event is detected in relation to a premises. Upon detecting the event, a location of an occupant of the premises is determined in relation to the premises. Upon determining the occupant is a predetermined distance away from the premises, a first type of notification is sent. The first type of notification includes a display of real-time video being captured at the premises.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for a home automation system, comprising:
- detecting, via a computing device of the home automation system, a delivery person proximate to a home associated with the home automation system based at least in part on sensor information;
- determining, via the computing device of the home automation system, a location of an occupant of the home based at least in part on detecting the delivery person proximate to the home;
- identifying, via the computing device of the home automation system, a message selection policy based at least in part on the location of the occupant, the message selection policy configured by the occupant of the home;
- determining, via the computing device of the home automation system, that a time of the detected delivery person satisfies a threshold configured by the occupant of the home, the threshold indicating a period of time associated with the message selection policy;
- selecting, via the computing device of the home automation system, a message to provide to the delivery person proximate to the home based at least in part on the location of the occupant, the identified message selection policy, and the period of time satisfying the threshold;
- and
- providing, via the computing device of the home automation system, the selected message to the delivery person based at least in part on the location of the occupant and the identified message selection policy.

An apparatus for a home automation system, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- detect, via the apparatus of the home automation system, a delivery person proximate to a home associated with the home automation system based at least in part on sensor information;
- determine, via the apparatus of the home automation system, a location of an occupant of the home based at least in part on detecting the delivery person proximate to the home;
- identify, via the apparatus of the home automation system, a message selection policy based at least in part on the location of the occupant;
- determine, via the apparatus of the home automation system, that a time of the detected delivery person satisfies a threshold configured by the occupant of the home, the threshold indicating a period of time associated with the message selection policy;
- select, via the apparatus of the home automation system, a message to provide to the delivery person proximate to the home based at least in part on the location of the occupant and the identified message selection policy, and the period of time satisfying the threshold;
- and
- provide, via the apparatus of the home automation system, the selected message to the delivery person based at least in part on the location of the occupant and the identified message selection policy.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by a processor to:
- detect, via a computing device of a home automation system, a delivery person proximate to a home associated with the home automation system based at least in part on sensor information;
- determine, via the computing device of the home automation system, a location of an occupant of the home based at least in part on detecting the delivery person proximate to the home;
- identify, via the computing device of the home automation system, a message selection policy based at least in part on the location of the occupant;
- determine, via the computing device of the home automation system, that a time of the detected delivery person satisfies a threshold configured by the occupant of the home, the threshold indicating a period of time associated with the message selection policy;
- select, via the computing device of the home automation system, a message to provide to the delivery person proximate to the home based at least in part on the location of the occupant, the identified message selection policy, and the period of time satisfying the threshold;
- and
- provide the selected message to the delivery person based at least in part on the location of the occupant and the identified message selection policy.
