Abstract
Methods and systems for operating a security and/or automation system using one or more powered faceplates are disclosed. The methods may include identifying an active communication connection with a first powered faceplate, receiving a first set of automation data, receiving a second set of automation data, analyzing the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data, and initiating an operation relating to at least one of a first powered faceplate, one or more other powered faceplates, an automation sensor, an automation system component, a user device, or a combination thereof based at least in part on the analyzing.
Claims18
A method for operating a security and/or automation system using one or more powered faceplates, comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, an active communication connection with a first powered faceplate from one or more powered faceplates;
- receiving, a first set of automation data captured from the first powered faceplate;
- receiving, a second set of automation data from at least one of an automation sensor, or an automation system component, or a user device;
- analyzing, by the processor, the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data;
- determining, based at least in part on the analyzing, a sequence of capturing the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data;
- determining, based at least in part on the sequence, a movement of an object or entity;
- and
- initiating, by the processor, an operation based at least in part on the movement.
A security and/or automation system, comprising:
- a powered faceplate having a transceiver and at least one automation component;
- a processor in electronic communication with one or more electrical components;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- a processing device in electronic communication with at least one of the one or more electrical components, or the memory, or the processor, wherein the processor is executable to:
- identify an active communication connection with a first powered faceplate from one or more powered faceplates;
- receive a first set of automation data captured from the first powered faceplate;
- receive a second set of automation data from at least one of an automation sensor, or an automation system component, or a user device;
- analyze the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data;
- determine, based at least in part on the analyzing, a sequence of capturing the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data;
- determine, based at least in part on the sequence, a movement of an object or entity;
- and
- initiate, by the processor, an operation based at least in part on the movement.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by a processor to:
- identify, by a processor, an active communication connection with a first powered faceplate from one or more powered faceplates;
- receive, a first set of automation data captured from the first powered faceplate;
- receive, a second set of automation data from at least one of an automation sensor, or an automation system component, or a user device;
- analyze, by the processor, the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data;
- determine, based at least in part on the analyzing, a sequence of capturing the first set of automation data and the second set of automation data;
- determine, based at least in part on the sequence, a movement of an object or entity;
- and
- initiate, by the processor, an operation based at least in part on the movement.
