Abstract
A computer-implemented method for installing a component within a system is described. In one embodiment, component information is identified via a component code on a component. User input is received that includes additional component information. A component associated with the component code is activated in a system based on the component information and the additional component information.
Claims20
A method of installing a component in a security and automation system, comprising:
- receiving, via a control panel, component information associated with the component;
- generating, via the control panel, a set of instructions associated with the component based at least in part on the received component information;
- and
- transmitting, via the control panel, the set of instructions to a mobile computing device located at a location different from a location of the control panel and the component.
An apparatus for installing a component in a security and automation system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- receive component information associated with the component;
- generate a set of instructions associated with the component based at least in part on the received component information;
- and
- transmit the set of instructions to a mobile computing device located at a location different from a location of the apparatus or the component.
A control panel for installing a component in a security and automation system, comprising:
- one or more processors of the control panel dedicated for use at a particular location within a residence;
- the control panel configured to communicate with at least one component and a mobile computing device via the one or more processors,
- wherein the control panel is further configured to:
- receive component information associated with the component;
- generate a set of instructions associated with the component based at least in part on the received component information;
- and
- transmit the set of instructions to the mobile computing device located at a location different from a location of the control panel and the component.
