Methods and systems for generating a response to detecting a fire on a property are provided. In certain aspects, a smart home controller (or other smart controller) may analyze data received from smart devices disposed on, within, or proximate to a property. If it is determined that a fire is present on the premises of the property, the smart home controller may determine a location of the fire as compared to the smart devices. The smart home controller may then generate and transmit instructions causing a portion of the smart devices to perform a set of actions to mitigate risks associated with the presence of the fire on the property. The smart home controller may also compare the location of the fire with a location of an occupant, and generate an escape route for the occupant. Insurance policies, premiums, or discounts may be adjusted based upon the fire response/mitigation functionality.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for controlling access to fuel repositories such as an underground gasoline storage tank located at a retail gas station. A method of the present disclosure may include sensing when a fuel access cover is removed from a pipe that leads to an underground fuel storage tank. Alternatively, or additionally, the method may include sensing when a fuel regulation device or an access panel of a fuel pump has been accessed. Systems consistent with the present disclosure may monitor both a set of fuel storage tanks access points and a set of fuel pump access points that control the flow of pumped fuel. Unauthorized access to fuel may result in an alarm being initiated. Such systems may also allow authorized individuals to access fuel storage tanks or metering devices of specific fuel pumps after providing authorization information to a computer.

An alert device includes electronic circuitry and at least a first antenna. The circuitry is designed for sending out a first signal, for wireless communication with at least a first hand held communication device, and at least a second signal for wireless communication with at least a second hand held communication device. The second signal differs from the first signal, preferably in at least one of transmitting energy, transmitting frequency, coding and pulse length. The device includes a switch for switching between: a first mode in which only the first signal is transmitted and a second mode wherein the first and second signal are transmitted; or a first mode wherein only the first signal is transmitted and a second mode wherein only the second signal is transmitted.

The present embodiments relate to managing the operation of devices within a home or other property based upon electrical usage data. With customer knowledge or consent, a home controller may retrieve and analyze electrical usage data corresponding to a device, such as by comparing it to certain threshold data. If the analysis results in a trigger condition, the controller may generate a command, and transmit the command to the device for implementation, allowing modification of device operation to address any issues indicated in the electrical usage data. In some implementations, the controller may notify a home owner/occupant. As a result, faulty devices may be managed prior to their faults causing damage to the device and/or the property, and/or property owners may be timely prompted to investigate, repair, and/or replace a failing device. Insurance discounts may be provided based upon the risk mitigation/prevention functionality.

A retail merchandise pusher with a remote alarm feature is provided. The pusher includes a housing and an adaptor. The adaptor is removably coupled to the housing and slidably coupled to a track. The pusher including a shaft rotatable about its axis in a first and second direction and a gear wheel coupled to the shaft. The rotation of the gear wheel causing a first electrical contact to engage with a second electrical contact, such that the distance that the pusher moves along the track can be measured by totaling the number of times the first electrical contact engages with the second electrical contact.

An anti-sweeping hook that includes a display hook for storing retail merchandise. The display hook has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A helical coil is disposed about the display hook and extending along a lengthwise portion of the display hook. The helical coil has a first coil end proximate the first end of the display hook. Rotation of the helical coil in a first direction loads the retail merchandise onto the display hook. Rotation of the helical coil in a second direction opposite the first direction removes the retail merchandise from the display hook. A rotating handle is attached to the first end of the display hook and to the first coil end. The rotating handle is configured to determine an extent of rotation for the rotating handle.

Systems and techniques are described for gathering information on the health of individuals trapped in an accident to provide actionable information to a first responder system. In some implementations, a monitoring system monitors a property that includes sensors located at the property and generate first sensor data. A monitor control unit receives the first sensor data and generates an alarm event for the property based on the first sensor data. Based on generating the alarm event for the property, the monitor control unit dispatches an autonomous drone. The autonomous drone is configured to navigate the property. Using an onboard sensor, the autonomous drone generates second sensor data. Based on the second sensor data, the autonomous drone determines a location within the property where a person is likely located. The autonomous drone provides, for output, data indicating the location within the property where the person is likely located.
