Abstract
Various arrangements for hazard detector event tracking is presented. A system may include a hazard detector and a computer server system. Indications of events that occurred at the hazard detector may be provided to and stored by a computer server system. A user interface application executed on a mobile device may receive the indications of events that occurred at the hazard detector. A timeline may be generated that graphically represents the indications of events. The generated timeline may be output for presentation via a display of the mobile device.
Claims20
A hazard detector event tracker system, comprising:
- a hazard detector, comprising:
- one or more hazard sensors;
- one or more processors;
- and a wireless communication interface;
- a computer server system that communicates with a plurality of hazard detectors that are linked with a plurality of user accounts, wherein the plurality of hazard detectors comprises the hazard detector and the computer server system is configured to:
- receive, from the hazard detector, indications of events that occurred at the hazard detector;
- store the indications of events mapped to a user account linked with the hazard detector, wherein the user account is part of the plurality of user accounts;
- and
- transmit the indications of events mapped to the user account linked with the hazard detector to a user interface application;
- and
- the user interface application executed on a mobile device that communicates with the computer server system, the user interface application being configured to:
- receive the indications of events mapped to the account linked with the hazard detector;
- generate a timeline that graphically represents the indications of events;
- and
- output the generated timeline for presentation via a display of the mobile device.
A method for tracking smart home device events, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a smart home device, indications of events that occurred at the smart home device to a computer server system;
- receiving, by the computer server system, the indications of events mapped to an account linked with the smart home device;
- transmitting, by the computer server system, the indications of events mapped to the account linked with the smart home device to a user interface application executed by a mobile device;
- receiving, by the user interface application executed by the mobile device, the indications of events mapped to the account linked with the smart home device;
- generating, by the user interface application executed by the mobile device, a timeline that graphically represents the indications of events;
- and
- outputting, by the user interface application executed by the mobile device, the generated timeline for presentation via a display of the mobile device.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium for tracking smart home device events, comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:
- receive indications of events mapped to an account linked with a smart home device;
- receive selection of a day from a plurality of days;
- generate a timeline that graphically represents the indications of events;
- and
- in response to receiving selection of the day, output the generated timeline for presentation via a display.
