An elderly care and security system comprises one or more networked lighting luminaire installed in a room, the luminaire comprising: one or more sensors configured to: detect a fall; detect smoke; detect glass break; detect presence of another person in the room while the elderly person is lying in bed; and detect presence of a person while an alarm system is active and detect no presence for a period longer than a predetermined time interval; a lighting unit controlled to adaptively illuminate the room; a wireless bi-directional transceiver, loudspeaker and microphone, configured to be activated automatically for communication with the elderly person, a caregiver or relative; a door locking/unlocking unit with connectivity to an electrical door lock, configured to automatically lock/unlock a door of a safe room for the elderly person; and an alarm activating unit, configured to automatically activate/deactivate an alarm.

An integrated system includes a system user interface (SUI) that provides an iconic, at-a-glance representation of integrated security system status. The SUI is for use across all client devices including mobile or cellular telephones, a mobile portal, a web portal, and a touchscreen device. The SUI includes a number of display elements presented across all types of client devices for monitoring status of the integrated security system. The display elements of the SUI include an orb icon, text summary, security button, device warnings, system warnings, interesting sensors, and quiet sensors. The SUI thus provides system status summary information agnostically across all clients. Additionally, the SUI provides consistent iconography, terminology, and display rules across all clients as well as consistent sensor and system detail across clients.

A premises control unit in communication with at least one battery operated sensor of a premises security system is provided. The premises control unit includes processing circuitry configured to configure at least one parameter for the at least one battery operated sensor where the configuration of the at least one parameter is based at least on data collected by the premises security system, and the at least one parameter includes at least sleep cycles for the at least one battery operated sensor.

A plurality of sensors are operably coupled to a system controller. Each sensor includes a detection mode in which the sensor applies one or more detection algorithms to sensor data generated by the corresponding sensor to detect a possible event and to report the possible event to the system controller, but does not report the system data to the system controller. Each sensor also includes a sensor data mode in which the sensor data is reported to the system controller. When one of the plurality of sensors reports a possible event to the system controller, the system controller instructs one or more of the plurality of sensors to switch from the detection mode to the sensor data mode. The system controller is configured to receive the sensor data and to process the received sensor data to confirm or otherwise provide a measure of confidence in the reported possible event.

A tracking system can provide intervention notifications to a user to notify the user that a tracking device is potentially lost or is in a predicted state. The tracking system may notify the user that a tracking device is potentially lost or in a predicted state based on a number of factors, including: a proximity of a tracking device to other tracking devices or a user's mobile device, a movement of a tracking device to more than a threshold distance away from a mobile device or other tracking devices, a location of a tracking device relative to a geographic location or to geographic boundaries, a usage or movement behavior of the tracking device, a usage or movement behavior of a user or owner of a tracking device, information received from an external source, or information received from sensors within the tracking device or a user's mobile.

A wireless electromechanical lock with one or more of an internal antenna, touch activation, and/or a light communication device that acts as a user interface. In some embodiments, the lock utilizes an antenna near the exterior face of the lockset, designed inside the metal body of the lockset itself. A light communication device is provided in some embodiments to communicate information, visually, to the user via animations and dynamic displays of light. In some embodiments, the lockset includes a touch activation capability, which can be used to lock/unlock the lock and/or otherwise provide input.
