A premises control unit configured to be in communication with a battery operated sensor of a premises security system, the battery operated sensor being separate from the premises control unit and controllable by the premises control unit, the premises control unit comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- determine at least one parameter for the battery operated sensor based at least on data collected by the premises security system, the at least one parameter comprising a sleep cycle setting for the at least one battery operated sensor, the data comprising at least one of timestamp data or data indicating a state of the premises security system;
- and
- configure the battery operated sensor according to the at least one parameter.
A method implemented by a premises control unit that is configured to be in communication with a battery operated sensor of a premises security system, the battery operated sensor being separate from the premises control unit and controllable by the premises control unit, the method comprising:
- determining at least one parameter for the battery operated sensor based at least on data collected by the premises security system, the at least one parameter comprising a sleep cycle setting for the at least one battery operated sensor, the data comprising at least one of timestamp data or data indicating a state of the premises security system;
- and
- configuring the battery operated sensor according to the at least one parameter.
