In some implementations, geolocation polling can include actions of receiving a location update from a user device of a user, determining an earliest time of arrival of the user to a home, determining, based on the earliest time of arrival, a time interval for a next location update, and providing instructions to the user device of the time interval for a next location update.

Geolocation polling frequency for home automation

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for state and event monitoring. In some implementations, images captured by a camera are obtained, the images depicting an area of a property. Two or more images of the images are provided to a machine learning model. An output of the machine learning model is obtained, the output corresponding to the two or more images. One or more potential states of the area of the property are determined using the output of the machine learning model, each state of the one or more potential states corresponding to an image in the two or more images. An action is performed based on the one or more potential states.

State and event monitoring

A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property includes a connected scale device that is configured to receive a package, determine a weight of the package, and after determining the weight of the package, arm the connected scale device, and a monitoring control unit that is configured to receive, from the connected scale device, data indicating that the connected scale device received the package and the connected scale device is armed, and based on receiving the data indicating that the connected scale device received the package and the connected scale device is armed, communicate, to a user device of a resident of the property, a notification indicating that the connected scale device received the package.

Connected scale device

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for finding lost objects. In some implementations, a request for a location of an item is obtained. Current video data from one or more cameras is obtained. It is determined that the item is not shown in the current video data. Sensor data corresponding to historical video data is obtained. Events that likely occurred with the item and corresponding likelihoods for each of the events are determined. A likely location for the item is determined based on the likelihoods determined for the events. An indication of the likely location of the item is provided.

Investigation system for finding lost objects

Systems and techniques for solar energy management are described. A described system includes circuitry to determine a solar power generation value based on a power output of a solar power generator configured to supply electricity to a plurality of devices associated with a property; circuitry to determine a power consumption value of the plurality of devices; and a controller configured to determine a power status based on the solar power generation value and the power consumption value. The controller can be configured to selectively enable additional power consumption among the plurality of devices to an extent of the solar power generation value based on the power status indicating a power surplus state. The controller can be configured to selectively reduce power consumption among the plurality of devices based on the power status indicating a power deficit state.

Solar energy management

A computer-implemented method, including receiving, by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property and from a sensor of the monitoring system, sensor data, receiving video data, determining that a vehicle is in a vicinity of the property based on the sensor data and the video data, comparing frames of the video data to an image of a known vehicle, determining a confidence score that reflects a likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle, based on determining that the confidence score that reflects the likelihood that the vehicle in the vicinity of the property matches the known vehicle satisfies a confidence score threshold, identifying an action that is performed by the vehicle, identifying a monitoring system action that corresponds to the action performed by the vehicle, and performing the monitoring system action.
