A server-based environment for reporting a status of a security, monitoring and automation controller is provided. Detecting cessation of an always-on persistent network connection between the SMA controller and the server is also provided. Reporting the cessation of the network connection to an end user and defined others is further provided. A further aspect provides for automatically reporting an alarm event to a central station, the end user, and others, in the event the cessation of the network connection occurs while the SMA controller is armed and after a zone fault event, and not receiving a disarm notification prior to expiration of a preset entry delay.

A fire alarm control panel (FACP) in a fire alarm system includes a processor in communication with a communications interface. The processor is configured to receive an event signal from an initiation device. The FACP also includes a display, controlled by the processor, indicating a status of the fire alarm system and configured to present a plurality of icons corresponding to a plurality of voice messages to be selectively played in response to receiving one or more event signals from the initiation device. The FACP further includes an embedded microphone mounted in the fire alarm control panel adjacent to the display. The FACP also includes a programmable microphone interface controlled by the processor, in communication with the embedded microphone utilized in response to receiving one or more event signals from the initiation device.

A system and method are provided for collection and testing of a biologic sample in a self-diagnostic test. The system and method comprise collecting by a user of a testing device a biologic sample for use with the testing device, assigning correlative values as test results, and receiving the test results at a server disposed on a network. Some aspects include a mobile application operating on a mobile device with which the user interacts. These aspects allow advertisements and other messages to be presented to the user through the mobile application. Some aspects present different messages to the user based on the type of self-diagnostic test the user is conducting.
