20230229418 · 2023-07-20 ·

Devices, systems, and methods for upgrading fire panel firmware using machine learning are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a fire panel comprising a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to collect operational data associated with a fire system controlled by the fire panel device over a period of time while the fire panel device utilizes a first firmware version, determine a plurality of test cases based on the operational data, execute the plurality of test cases while the fire panel device utilizes a second firmware version, and provide results of each of the plurality of executed test cases via an interface.

Thermal management in smart doorbells
11704994 · 2023-07-18 · ·

Various smart doorbell arrangements are presented. Based on a measured temperature of the smart doorbell, operation of the smart doorbell device may be altered such that more heat or less heat is generated without affecting user-facing features. Based on another measured temperature, operation of the smart doorbell may be altered such that a chime that is electrically coupled to the smart doorbell device is not sounded in response to a doorbell actuation, but that a notification of the doorbell actuation is wirelessly transmitted by the smart doorbell device.

Determining operations for a smart fixture based on an area status

Systems and methods for determining operation commands for a fixture within an area of a facility. One example system includes a processor configured to: receive, from a first fixture associated with an area within a facility, operational data related to an operation of the first fixture; receive, from a second fixture associated with the area within the facility, environmental data related to a condition of the area; process the operational data and the environmental data through a status model to determine a status for the area, the status model trained with operational data and environmental data previously received from the first fixture, the second fixture, and other fixtures associated with the facility; determine an operation command for a third fixture associated with the area within the facility based on the status; and provide the operation command to the third fixture for execution.

Methods and systems for managing execution of standard operating procedures by an operator to address alarms generated by a facility management system

A computer assisted facility monitoring method provides users with predefined operating procedures that are recommended for addressing one or more alarms acknowledged by the user. The predefined operating procedures are created and stored prior to the occurrence of the alarms. In some examples, after acknowledging an alarm occurrence, the user may be provided with an option for bypassing or disregarding the alarm, as some such acknowledgements may have been for false alarms. In some examples, the predefined operating procedure may specify multiple action steps for addressing an alarm. In such examples, the user can close out or settle an alarm incident even without completing all of the action steps, provided the user enters a valid reason for doing so. In some examples, a user can batch-select a group of alarms, wherein perhaps only some of the acknowledged alarms in the group have corresponding predefined operating procedures.

Universal programmable optic/acoustic signaling device with self-diagnosis

A signaling system includes a universal, programmable, and customizable signaling device. The signaling device includes light indicators, such as a colored light-emitting diode (LED) screen with pixels distributed on an indicating surface of the device facing all directions. A segmented assembly with driver, light, sound, and diagnostic sections allows customization of the device to accommodate different size requirements in different contexts. The signaling device includes both analog and digital inputs for receiving control signals from a monitored system, as well as additional inputs for receiving signaling instructions from a configuration device. Based on the signaling instructions and the control signals, the signaling device presents status information for the monitored system via programmed audible and visual alarms and signaling patterns, including animations. Diagnostic monitors of the signaling device determine a diagnostic status for the device, and a diagnostic indicator presents diagnostic information to ensure that the signaling device is operating normally.
