A wireless communications system for an automotive vehicle includes a vehicle control unit and a fob. The vehicle control unit includes a vehicle transceiver. The fob includes a fob transceiver and a fob control unit and is configured to transmit and receive communications through at least two channels. The fob control unit is programmed to transmit a preamble through the first of the at least two channels, transmit a preamble through the second of the at least two channels during a null space following the preamble transmitted through the first channel, transmit a data packet payload through the first channel when a null space following the preamble in the second channel is detected, and transmit a data packet payload through the second channel when a null space following the preamble in the second channel is detected. Communications are interleaved between the first and second channels.

A security system can include an electronic doorbell comprising a first camera configurable to capture an image of a first zone, a button configurable to enable a visitor to sound an electronic chime, and a first microphone configurable to capture sounds. The security system can also include an electronic garage door controller communicatively coupled to the electronic doorbell, the electronic garage door controller comprising a second camera configurable to capture an image of a second zone, and a second microphone configurable to capture sounds. The security system can also include a remote computing device communicatively coupled to at least one of the electronic doorbell and the electronic garage door controller. The remote computing device can be configurable to display at least one of the image of the first zone and the image of the second zone.

Methods for replacing a first garage door controller with a second garage door controller can include electrically decoupling the first garage door controller from a first wire that is electrically coupled to the garage door opener. Methods can include electrically decoupling the first garage door controller from a second wire that is electrically coupled to the garage door opener. Methods can also include electrically coupling the second garage door controller to the first wire and electrically coupling the second garage door controller to the second wire. Methods can even include communicatively coupling the second garage door controller to an Internet router to thereby communicatively couple the second garage door controller to a wireless network.

Methods and systems of credential synchronization for a mobile device include performing one or more of: time-based, location-based, and push notification-based credential synchronization between a credential server and a mobile device. Credential synchronization handles conditions where synchronization is delayed due to communication issues between the credential server and the mobile device. Synchronization can be performed prior to the mobile device reaching a location of an access control to be opened based on a credential provided during credential synchronization.

[Object] To provide a novel and improved communication system and communication device that make it possible to reduce an amount of time from when communication with an external device is completed to when communication data corresponding to a communication result is output to another device. [Solution] Provided is a communication system including: a communication device configured to transmit a selection solution that is selected depending on a result of first communication with an external device; and a control device configured to receive the selection solution from the communication device through second communication between the communication device and a communication partner that is different from the external device serving as a communication partner in the first communication.

A wireless lockset with integrated wireless signals analysis and method is described herein. The analysis integrated into the wireless lockset allows remote monitoring of a building or dwelling. A user can track and be notified of the state of occupancy of a dwelling based upon when specific un-associated devices that are within range of the lockset.
