A controller device for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system may output, while in a first state, a first user interface for display at a display device, where the first user interface includes first information at a first output size. The controller device may determine, while in the first state and based at least in part on whether an elapsed time since a most recent indication of user input received at a user input device exceeds a timeout period, that no users are physically proximate to the controller device. The controller device may, in response: transition the controller device from the first state to a second state and output a second user interface at the display device, where the second user interface comprises second information at a second output size that is larger than the first output size.

A method for adjusting devices upon detecting occupant is asleep in a security/automation system is described. In one embodiment, the method may include monitoring sensor data from one or more sensors, detecting an occupant sleeping, based at least in part on the monitored sensor data, and upon detecting the occupant sleeping, modifying one or more settings associated with one or more devices of the home automation system. In some cases, the method may include modifying at least one of an audio setting associated with the home automation system, a thermostat setting associated with the home automation system, a sensor setting associated with the home automation system, an appliance setting associated with the home automation system, and a security setting associated with the home automation system, or any combination thereof.

A smart gateway device for a first network associated with a building management system (BMS) is configured to discover a physical device and generate a new virtual device responsive to a determination that a device identifier of the physical device does not match any device identifiers in a virtual device registry. The virtual device registry provides mapping between the new virtual device and the physical device. One or more data points of the new virtual device correspond to one or more data points of the physical device. The smart gateway device is configured to receive data values for the one or more data points of the physical device and update the one or more data points of the new virtual device with the data values for the one or more data points of the physical device. The virtual device is configured to represent the physical device on the first network.

Systems and methods for displaying and associating context images with zones or devices of a security system or a home automation system are provided. Such systems and methods may include associating each of a plurality of zones or devices of the security system or the home automation system with a respective context image and displaying the respective context image for one of the plurality of zones or devices in response to a user interface of the security system or the home automation system receiving user input.

Doorbells can send data to each other to enable a first doorbell user to warn a second doorbell user regarding a suspicious visitor. A first user can indicate a first trait of a visitor via a first remote computing device. The first user can create a user group to enable the members of the user group to use their doorbells to take pictures of suspicious visitors and to send the pictures of the suspicious visitors to other members of the user group.

A fixture system includes a fixture having an input device, an output device, and a fixture computing system. The fixture computing system includes a database and programming for receiving information from the input device and accessing the database. The programming has instructions that, when activated by the processor, performs the following steps: (a) activate the output device to output a first signal; (b) receive information from the input device; (c) access the database to determine a second signal, wherein the second signal is based on the information from the input device; and (d) activate the output device to output the second signal.

Systems and Methods for Differential Pressure Determination and Control are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a system, which able to obtain pressure measurements. The system can include, a sensor and a processor coupled to the sensor. A further embodiment includes memory coupled to the processor where the memory has stored thereon instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine, a local set of pressure measurements from the sensor and/or compare the local set of pressure measurements with an external set of pressure measurements.

A method for processing speech, comprising semantically parsing a received natural language speech input with respect to a plurality of predetermined command grammars in an automated speech processing system; determining if the parsed speech input unambiguously corresponds to a command and is sufficiently complete for reliable processing, then processing the command; if the speech input ambiguously corresponds to a single command or is not sufficiently complete for reliable processing, then prompting a user for further speech input to reduce ambiguity or increase completeness, in dependence on a relationship of previously received speech input and at least one command grammar of the plurality of predetermined command grammars, reparsing the further speech input in conjunction with previously parsed speech input, and iterating as necessary. The system also monitors abort, fail or cancel conditions in the speech input.

A smart energy platform for controlling energy consumption at a property, the smart energy platform configured to: (i) receive an input from a user associated with the property indicating a maximum comfort temperature and a minimum comfort temperature of the property; (ii) receive property data; (iii) retrieve weather data; (iv) determine property usage; (v) receive energy pricing data from an energy company; (vi) build a model based upon the input from the user, the property data, the weather data, and the property usage; (vii) input the energy pricing data and the weather data into the model; (viii) output an energy schedule for the property to maintain a temperature of the property within the maximum comfort temperature and the minimum comfort temperature at a minimum cost to the user; and/or (ix) control the temperature of the property based upon the energy schedule for the property.
