Intermittent remote property control and configuration

A method comprising:

• sending, by a central system and to a mobile device that accepted a request to collect sensor data generated by one or more sensors that are not able to communicate with the central system, an instruction that causes the mobile device to collect sensor data generated by the one or more sensors;
• receiving, by the central system and from the mobile device, sensor data that was generated by at least some of the one or more sensors and collected by the mobile device wherein the sensor data includes a set of data values each having a timestamp indicating a time at which the data value was generated by the respective sensor;
• selecting, by the central system and from the sensor data, a subset of the data values having the most recent timestamps;
• determining, by the central system and based on the selected subset of the data values, that the sensor data satisfies criteria for performing one or more actions;
• and
• in response to determining that the sensor data satisfies the criteria for performing the one or more actions, performing, by the central system, the one or more actions.

A system comprising one or more computers and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• sending, by the central system and to an autonomous vehicle that accepted a request to collect sensor data, an instruction that causes the autonomous vehicle to collect sensor data generated by one or more sensors;
• receiving, by the central system and from the autonomous vehicle, sensor data that was generated by at least some of the one or more sensors and collected by the autonomous vehicle;
• determining, by the central system, that the sensor data satisfies criteria for performing one or more actions;
• and
• in response to determining that the sensor data satisfies the criteria for performing the one or more actions, performing, by the central system, the one or more actions.
