Abstract
A method for security and/or automation systems, comprising determining a presence of a first occupant in a first room at a predefined location, the first room communicatively coupled to a first electronic device capable of receiving input; receiving a request for communication with the first occupant by a remote computer system; sending a response to the request for communication with the first occupant; and establishing a communications link between the first electronic device and the remote computer system.
Claims19
-20. (canceled)
An apparatus for an automation system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- a wireless communication interface coupled with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- determine, by the processor, a presence of a first occupant in a first room at a predefined location based at least in part on receiving input from a first sensor associated with the first room;
- receive, by the processor, a request for communication with the first occupant by a remote computer system;
- send, by the processor, a response to the request for communication with the first occupant;
- and
- establish, by the processor, a communications link between a first electronic device located in the first room and the remote computer system.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for an automation system, the code executable by a processor to:
- determine a presence of a first occupant in a first room at a predefined location by a first sensor located in the first room;
- receive a request for communication with the first occupant from a remote computer system;
- send a response to the request for communication with the first occupant;
- and
- establish a communications between a first electronic device located in the first room and the remote computer system.
A method for operating an automation system, comprising:
- determining, using a processor, a presence of a first occupant in a first room at a predefined location based at least in part on receiving input from a first sensor associated with the first room;
- receiving, using the processor, a request for communication with the first occupant by a remote computer system;
- sending, using the processor, a response to the request for communication with the first occupant;
- and
- establishing, using the processor, a communications link between a first electronic device located in the first room and the remote computer system.
