Abstract
Embodiments include systems and methods comprising a gateway located at a premise forming at least one network on the premise that includes a plurality of premise devices. A sensor user interface (SUI) is coupled to the gateway and presented to a user via a remote device. The SUI includes at least one display element. The at least one display element includes a floor plan display that represents at least one floor of the premise. The floor plan display visually and separately indicates a location and a current state of each premise device of the plurality of premise devices.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- causing output, by a computing device and via a user interface associated with a premises management system located at a premises, of a first user interface element representing a first floor of the premises, wherein the first floor of the premises comprises an initial default floor of the premises management system, and wherein a default floor comprises a floor of the premises presented at the first user interface element upon a first output of the first user interface element by the computing device;
- causing output, based on a first user selection, of the first user interface element representing a second floor of the premises, wherein the first user selection comprises an indication of a selection of the second floor of the premises as a new default floor of the premises management system;
- causing output, via the user interface, of a second user interface element located proximate the first user interface element, wherein the second user interface element comprises a plurality of types of structural elements;
- receiving, via the second user interface element, a second user selection associated with one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements;
- receiving, via the first user interface element, a third user selection associated with an area of the second floor of the premises;
- and
- causing output, via the first user interface element and at the selected area of the second floor of the premises, of an indication of the one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements.
4 more elements
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- cause output, via a user interface associated with a premises management system located at a premises, of a first user interface element representing a first floor of the premises, wherein the first floor of the premises comprises an initial default floor of the premises management system, and wherein a default floor comprises a floor of the premises presented at the first user interface element upon a first output of the first user interface element by the device;
- causing output, based on a first user selection, of the first user interface element representing a second floor of the premises, wherein the first user selection comprises an indication of a selection of the second floor of the premises as a new default floor of the premises management system;
- cause output, via the user interface, of a second user interface element located proximate the first user interface element, wherein the second user interface element comprises a plurality of types of structural elements;
- receive, via the second user interface element, a second user selection associated with one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements;
- receive, via the first user interface element, a third user selection associated with an area of the second floor of the premises;
- and
- cause output, via the first user interface element and at the selected area of the second floor of the premises, of an indication of the one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements.
7 more elements
A system comprising:
- a premises management system located at a premises;
- and
- a computing device configured to communicate with the premises management system, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- cause output, via a user interface associated with the premises management system, of a first user interface element representing a first floor of the premises, wherein the first floor of the premises comprises an initial default floor of the premises management system, and wherein a default floor comprises a floor of the premises presented at the first user interface element upon a first output of the first user interface element by the computing device;
- cause output, based on a first user selection, of the first user interface element representing a second floor of the premises, wherein the first user selection comprises an indication of a selection of the second floor of the premises as a new default floor of the premises management system;
- cause output, via the user interface, of a second user interface element located proximate the first user interface element, wherein the second user interface element comprises a plurality of types of structural elements;
- receive, via the second user interface element, a second user selection associated with one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements;
- receive, via the first user interface element, a third user selection associated with an area of the second floor of the premises;
- and
- cause output, via the first user interface element and at the selected area of the second floor of the premises, of an indication of the one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- causing output, by a computing device and via a user interface associated with a premises management system located at a premises, of a first user interface element representing a first floor of the premises, wherein the first floor of the premises comprises an initial default floor of the premises management system, and wherein a default floor comprises a floor of the premises presented at the first user interface element upon a first output of the first user interface element by the computing device;
- causing output, based on a first user selection, of the first user interface element representing a second floor of the premises, wherein the first user selection comprises an indication of a selection of the second floor of the premises as a new default floor of the premises management system;
- causing output, via the user interface, of a second user interface element located proximate the first user interface element, wherein the second user interface element comprises a plurality of types of structural elements;
- receiving, via the second user interface element, a second user selection associated with one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements;
- receiving, via the first user interface element, a third user selection associated with an area of the second floor of the premises;
- and
- causing output, via the first user interface element and at the selected area of the second floor of the premises, of an indication of the one type of the plurality of types of the structural elements.
