Methods, systems, and devices for lighting control are described. An apparatus may include a processor, memory, a power component, a set of control buttons, and one or more radio components for lighting control. The apparatus may be a light control device associated with a home or automation system. The light control device may be a light switch cover with a cover plate that encapsulate a light switch. The light switch cover may have a radio, a battery, and control circuitry for lighting control.

Apparatus for lighting control

Methods, systems, and devices for Wi-Fi routers and switching are described. An apparatus for wireless communication in a Wi-Fi network may include a set of radio frequency (RF) switches, where a first RF switch provides a connection for a set of RF signal paths to a processor of the apparatus and a second RF switch provides a connection for the set of RF signal paths to an antenna of the apparatus. The set of RF signal paths may include a combination of one or more highpass signal paths, lowpass signal paths, bandpass signal paths, or passthrough signal paths. The apparatus may determine a set of Wi-Fi channels for the wireless communication with one or more wireless devices of the Wi-Fi network, select at least one RF signal path to pass at least one Wi-Fi channel, and process the wireless communication using the at least one RF signal path.

WiFi routers and switching

A method for security and/or automation systems is described. In one embodiment, the method may include receiving image data associated with an area via an image sensor, receiving sound data associated with an object via an audio sensor, analyzing the image data in relation to the sound data, detecting an object's presence based at least in part on the analyzing, and identifying at least one characteristic relating to the object based at least in part on the detecting.

Sonic sensing

A method for providing wireless access to one or more wireless devices using an automation system control panel is described. In one embodiment, a communication link is established between an automation system control panel and one or more automation components. Settings are applied to configure the automation system control panel for use as a wireless access point providing two-way communication with one or more electronic devices. Applying settings includes receiving input directly at a graphical user interface of the automation system control panel, the graphical user interface further providing access to control the one or more automation components. The automation system control panel is wirelessly connected to one or more electronic devices via a wireless access point interface using the settings applied at the graphical user interface.

Using a control panel as a wireless access point

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for dynamically linking a first security system and a second security system. A method may include selectively linking a first security system and a second security system based on one or more link conditions. The method may further include receiving one or more first sensor event messages from the first security system and sending at least a portion of the one or more first sensor event messages to the second security system. The method may also include receiving one or more second sensor event messages from the second security system, and sending at least a portion of the one or more second sensor event messages to the first security system. In one aspect, the method may include selectively de-linking the first security system and the second security system based on one or more de-link conditions.

Dynamic linking of security systems

In some embodiments, systems, methods, and techniques relating to security and/or automation systems, collectively referred to as automation systems, may include determining a presence of a first device proximate at least one entry to a location, obtaining information related to an identification of an entity associated with the at least one device, authenticating the first device, the authenticating based at least in part on obtaining information related to the identification, and taking an action based at least in part on determining the authenticity.

Smart door lock

A security system includes a control panel and sensors for monitoring conditions related to the security of a residential or commercial location. The control panel communicates with the sensors and displays information related to the operation of the security system. The control panel may also receive user input. User input can be received at a touch-sensitive display on the control panel. The touch-sensitive display may be adapted to receive and recognize multiple, simultaneous touches. Different types of touches can be associated with different actions taken by the touch-sensitive display. Detection of types of touches can also include gesture identification. A haptic response may also be provided for giving tactile feedback when input is received at the control panel.
