Evacuation system

A system for controlling a controllable device in response to sensed conditions comprising:

• one or more sensor nodes configured to sense conditions of an area in which the controllable device is located;
• one or more processors, the processors in combination configured to:
• determine an ordinary behavior of the sensed conditions using an accumulated history of condition information;
• determine that the sensed conditions represent a non-ordinary behavior that is not an ordinary behavior of the sensed conditions;
• determine that the non-ordinary behavior relates to the controllable device, the determination based, at least in part, on a type of the non-ordinary behavior, where the relationship is further determined based on an ability of the controllable device to influence the sensed conditions;
• generate an alert pertaining to the controllable device in response to determining the non-ordinary behavior relates to the controllable device;
• send the alert to a computing device;
• send a status request signal to the controllable device to determine a current state of the controllable device;
• receive a status signal from the controllable device, wherein the status signal indicates at least one of a defect or a mechanical failure of the controllable device;
• and
• send, by at least one of:
• one of the processors or the computing device, a control signal to the controllable device that causes the controllable device to function in a manner that will mitigate the non-ordinary behavior.

A system for controlling a controllable device in response to sensed conditions comprising:

• one or more sensor nodes configured to sense conditions of an area in which the controllable device is located;
• a first processor configured to:
• determine an ordinary behavior of the sensed conditions using an accumulated history of condition information;
• and
• determine that the sensed conditions represent a non-ordinary behavior that is not an ordinary behavior of the sensed conditions;
• a second processor configured to:
• determine that the non-ordinary behavior relates to the controllable device, the determination based, at least in part, on a type of the non-ordinary behavior, where the relationship is further determined based on an ability of the controllable device to influence the sensed conditions;
• generate an alert pertaining to the controllable device in response to determining the non-ordinary behavior relates to the controllable device;
• send the alert to a computing device;
• send a status request signal to the controllable device to determine a current state of the controllable device;
• and
• receive a status signal from the controllable device, wherein the status signal indicates at least one of a defect or a mechanical failure of the controllable device;
• and
• instructions that when executed, cause a control signal to be sent to the controllable device by at least one of:
• the first processor, the second processor, or the computing device, that causes the controllable device to function in a manner that will mitigate the non-ordinary behavior.
