Abstract
Various aspects and embodiments of dwelling automation administration are described. Among other aspects or features of the embodiments, a dwelling automation system in a computing device authenticates a user. A management interface in the dwelling automation system generates a user interface for administering a plurality of automation devices at different dwellings based on access and control rights of the user. The user interface can grant the user access to at least one automation device associated with a hub associated with at least one dwelling.
Claims20
A method for automation rights management, comprising:
- receiving credential data from a client device for a user;
- identifying, by at least one computing device, a right to access at least one function of a plurality of automation devices installed at and associated with different rental units at a managed residential property based on an evaluation of the credential data against an access control rule associated with automation management;
- determining, by the at least one computing device, a group of the plurality of automation devices for which the user has the right to access the at least one function of the plurality of automation devices as a logical group;
- and
- adapting a user interface on the client device to collectively administer the at least one function for the group of the plurality of automation devices as the logical group.
An automation rights management system, comprising:
- a memory device to store computer readable instructions thereon;
- and
- a computing device configured, through execution of the computer readable instructions, to:
- receive credential data from a client device for a user;
- identify a right to access at least one function of a plurality of automation devices installed at and associated with different rental units at a managed residential property based on an evaluation of the credential data against an access control rule associated with automation management;
- determine a group of the plurality of automation devices for which the user has the right to access the at least one function of the plurality of automation devices as a logical group;
- and
- adapt a user interface on the client device to collectively administer the at least one function for the group of the plurality of automation devices as the logical group.
A computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, directs the at least one computing device to perform a method for automation rights management, comprising:
- receiving credential data from a client device for a user;
- identifying a right to access at least one function of a plurality of automation devices installed at and associated with different rental units at a managed residential property based on an evaluation of the credential data against an access control rule associated with the user for automation management;
- determining a group of the plurality of automation devices for which the user has the right to access the at least one function of the plurality of automation devices as a logical group;
- and
- adapting a user interface on the client device to collectively administer the at least one function for the group of the plurality of automation devices as the logical group.
