Systems and methods of providing status information in a smart home security detection system

A method comprising:

• detecting, with a sensor, a security event;
• receiving, by a controller device communicatively coupled to the sensor, the security event from the sensor;
• receiving, by the sensor, identifying information from an electronic device when the electronic device is within a predetermined distance from the sensor;
• determining, by the controller device, whether the identifying information detected with the sensor is from an electronic device of an authorized user;
• transmitting, by the controller device, an operational status message based on a type of the received security event to the electronic device via a communications link when the electronic device is determined to be authorized;
• receiving, by the electronic device, the operational status message via the communications link;
• and
• displaying, by a display of the electronic device, the operational status message when the electronic device is detected to be within the predetermined distance from the sensor and the electronic device is determined to be authorized, wherein the security event is the type of event that is displayed by the operational status message when the electronic device is detected to be within a predetermined distance from the sensor and the electronic device is determined to be authorized, and is not displayed by the operational status message when the electronic device is not within the predetermined distance from the sensor.
