A method, performed by a server device, of controlling a cleaning robot includes: receiving a first user input related to the cleaning robot, through a first home appliance; identifying a first scenario corresponding to the received first user input, from a scenario list defining operations of the cleaning robot; identifying a control command including movement position information indicating a destination of the cleaning robot, based on the identified first scenario; and transmitting the identified control command to the cleaning robot.

Methods, systems, and devices for smart sensing using a security and automation system are described. One method may include monitoring a parameter of a resource associated with a structure, predicting a future change in condition associated with the parameter based on the monitoring, and performing a function using the security and automation system based on the predicting. In some examples, the resource may include a service or a product.

Doorbell systems can include a speaker and a visitor detection system that includes at least one of a button, a camera, and a motion detector. Doorbell systems can be configured to detect an identity of a visitor via facial recognition, initiate a communication session with a remote computing device, and send the identity to the remote computing device via the first communication session.

Systems and methods comprise a gateway at a premises. The gateway is coupled to a remote system. An interface component is coupled to a processor of the gateway. The interface component comprises at least one module that interfaces and exchanges data with a processing component of a security system installed at a location. The processing component uses a proprietary protocol of the security system for processing data of the security system. The processor controls communications that comprise passing commands from the remote systems to the security system, and passing event data of the security system to the remote system.

A system monitors gas flow and pressure to a gas appliance in a fluid network comprising an analyzer. The analyzer has a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and an interior in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. At least one sensor is coupled to the analyzer and configured to generate at least one signal related to gas being supplied to the gas appliance. A smart device communicates with the analyzer, wherein the smart device has a user interface and is configured to monitor, store and display data. The smart device can present any or all of a plurality of parameters such as the flow of gas, a capacity of the flow of gas, a temperature, a pressure of the gas and the like to a user based on signals from sensors.

A data collection server includes a communicator, a use frequency estimator, and a data saver. The communicator receives device data from a device. The use frequency estimator estimates use frequency of the device data received by the communicator. The data saver stores the device data in, among a plurality of storage servers corresponding to different levels of use frequency, one of the plurality of storage servers that corresponds to the use frequency estimated by the use frequency estimator.

A building monitoring system includes a first sensor configured to detect a first condition in the space, a second sensor configured to detect a second condition in the space, and a robotic sentinel. The robotic sentinel includes a memory for storing one or more rules each configured to identify an alert condition for the space based on the first and/or second conditions in the space, a communications module configured to communicate with a remote device over a network, and a controller operatively coupled to the sensors, the memory, and the communications module. The controller is configured to apply the one or more rules to the first and second detected conditions in the space to identify one or more alert conditions and determine what action is required by the robotic sentinel, and if action is required, command the robotic sentinel to travel to a location of the alert condition.

A server controlling an external device is provided. The server includes a communicator; a processor; a memory which stores at least one natural language understanding (NLU) engine for generating a command corresponding to a user's utterance. The server receives, from a pairing device paired to the external device, the user's utterance controlling the external device and information about at least one external device registered with the pairing device, via the communicator, determines an NLU engine corresponding to the external device, from among the at least one NLU engine, based on the user's utterance controlling the external device and the information about the at least one external device, and generates the command controlling the external device based on the user's utterance, by using the determined NLU engine.

A method of controlling a home appliance includes receiving a distance measurement request signal from a user equipment; transmitting, based on the received distance measurement request signal, an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication module activation signal to the user equipment and a second home appliance that includes a UWB antenna; receiving, from the second home appliance, a location measurement value of the user equipment measured with respect to the second home appliance, the location measurement value being based on a UWB signal between the user equipment and the second home appliance; determining location information about the user equipment, based on the location measurement value of the user equipment; receiving, from a first home appliance that does not include a UWB antenna, information about the first home appliance; and registering the first home appliance in the server device, based on the received information about the first home appliance and the location information about the user equipment.

Implementations of firearm regulation systems may include a firearm safety system (FSS) configured to physically couple to a firearm. The FSS may include a locking mechanism configured to prevent the firearm from firing and a sensor configured to detect an environmental parameter. The firearm regulation system may also include a management system communicatively coupled to the FSS and a site safety system (SSS) communicatively coupled to the management system. The SSS may include one or more lockdown mechanisms.
