An event notification system includes a wireless device, an Access Point device, a server, and a user application. The server is configured to receive a plurality of heartbeats from the wireless device and through the Access Point device, and send a heartbeat response of a plurality of heartbeat responses in response to a respective heartbeat of the plurality of heartbeats. The user application is configured to send enable and disable commands to the server. The enable command is sent to the wireless device as part of the next heartbeat response of the plurality of heartbeat responses. The disable command is sent to the wireless device after the server receives an event condition from the wireless device through the AP device.

A method of provisioning a headless device includes the steps of acquiring credentials for a user application, then placing the headless device in a provisioning mode. Once in the provisioning mode, characters associated with the credentials are displayed by the user application, then the characters are read by an optical character reader (OCR) of the headless device, thereby allowing the headless device to join a network associated with the credentials.

A wireless communication system includes a wireless device, an Access Point (AP) device, and a controller. The wireless device includes a first processor having a counter. The controller is configured to send a learn idle time command through the AP device and to the processor. The processor is configured to cease any transmission through the AP device and start the counter after receiving the learn idle time command, and is configured to receive a message indicative of no activity by the wireless device from the AP device, and estimate an AP idle time based on the counter.

An Internet of Things architecture includes a gateway, a first dongle, a first wireless device, and a cloud platform. The gateway includes a first serial port. The first dongle is received by the first serial port, and is configured to communicate using a first communication technology. The first wireless device is configured to communicate a first coded message to the first dongle using the first communication technology. The cloud platform includes a network abstraction layer that includes a first communication technology module configured to receive the first coded message associated with the first communication technology and output a first decoded message.

A wireless communication system includes gateway, a server, and a wireless device. The server is configured to send a heartbeat of a plurality of heartbeats to the wireless device upon expiration of a respective heartbeat interval of a plurality of heartbeat intervals. The wireless device is configured to send a plurality of Power Save polls to the Access Point device, wherein each Power Save poll of the plurality of Power Save polls retrieves a respective heartbeat of the plurality of heartbeats.

Wireless communication system and method of managing energy consumption of a wireless device

A wireless communication system includes an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Access Point (AP) device, and a cloud. The IoT device is configured to operate in a Power Save Mode that includes a plurality of awake states and a plurality of sleep states. The AP device is configured to receive a plurality of requests and a plurality of Power Save (PS) polls from the IoT device. The cloud is configured to receive the plurality of requests from the AP device and send a response for each one of the plurality of requests to the AP device. The AP device is configured to buffer the response and send the buffered response to the IoT device upon receipt of a respective PS poll.

An event notification system includes a control assembly and a wireless device. The wireless device is configured to communicate with the control assembly at dynamically configurable frequencies, and communicates with the control assembly at a first frequency when in a disabled status, and communicates with the control assembly at a second frequency when in an enabled status.

An image-based event notification system includes a detection device, a controller, and a user application. The detection device is configured to generate an image. The controller is configured to receive the image and output an associated event-based image indicative of an event. The user application includes a user interface and a display. The user application is configured to receive the event-based image from the controller, and display the event-based image on the display. From the display, a user may choose between a user event confirmation and a user event rejection.

A fallback mobile proxy system includes a gateway device having a local communication interface that establishes communication between a router and one or more smart home devices over a local communication network and one or more secondary local communication networks. The gateway device includes a processor that is configured to perform detecting a loss or degradation of connectivity between the router and a remote communication network. A mobile device is identified in communication with the router over the local communication network, where the mobile device has an alternate connectivity interface to the remote communication network. The mobile device is established as a fallback mobile proxy based on identifying the mobile device. Data is routed from/to the one or more smart home devices targeting the remote communication network to pass from/to the gateway device through the router and the fallback mobile proxy from/to the remote communication network.
