Abstract
A computing device may communicate with a mobile node via a wireless link, and may determine if the mobile node is within range or out of range. In response to that determination, the computing device may cause various actions to occur, such as opening a door, unlocking a door, arming/disarming a monitoring system, activating a light, or other actions.
Claims77
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device and via a wireless link, a signal from a mobile node;
- determining that the mobile node is within range by determining that a signal strength of the signal satisfies a first threshold indicated by a profile associated with the mobile node, wherein the first threshold is greater than zero;
- and
- in response to the determining that the mobile node is within range, causing disarming a monitoring system associated with a premises.
