Systems and methods for processing coexisting signals for rapid response to user input

A method for using a system comprising a plurality of wireless communication circuits, comprising:

• detecting an alert event;
• sounding an alarm in response to the alert event;
• communicating a notification of the alert event via a first wireless communication circuit in response to the alert event, wherein the notification is received by a user device associated with an account linked to the system;
• receiving an instruction to silence the alarm from the user device via a second wireless communication circuit;
• and
• altering the state of the system by hushing the alarm in response to receipt of the instruction.

A system, comprising:

• first wireless communications circuitry that accesses a common RF medium;
• second wireless communication circuitry that accesses the common RF medium;
• and
• a processor operative to:
• detect an alert event;
• sound an alarm in response to the alert event;
• communicate a notification of the alert event via the first wireless communication circuit in response to the alert event, wherein the notification is received by a user device associated with an account linked to the system;
• receive an instruction to silence the alarm from the user device via the second wireless communication circuit;
• and
• alter the state of the system by hushing the alarm in response to receipt of the instruction.

The system of 30, the second communications circuitry is operative to perform at least one of the following:

• advertise the existence of the system to the user device;
• authenticate the user device;
• and
• process data received from the user device after the user device is authenticated.
