Systems and methods for communicating between components of a security and/or automation system include establishing a two-way call between a control panel and a central station of the security and/or automation system using a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) channel connection, and after establishing the two-way call, communicating data between the central station and the control panel via a central station of the security and/or automation system via a second connection different from the VoIP channel connection, the data being related to control of the control panel.

Panel control over broadband

The disclosure may relate to a communications protocol between a mobile device and a control panel, or a mobile device and a server associated with the automation system. The communication protocol may reduce a size of data transferred between the mobile device and control panel ensuring the user does not experience latency on their mobile device, a large bill from their wireless broadband provider, and also does not miss important update or the like from the automation system. In some embodiments, a method for a security and/or automation is described. The method may comprise generating a communication to a user, coding the communication using a pre-established user-specific code index, and transmitting the coded communication to a device associated with the user. Coding the communication may further comprise reducing a size of the communication.

Communications protocol

A method for security and/or automation systems is described. In one embodiment, the method may include receiving occupancy data associated with a home. The method may further include automatically selectively broadcasting an audio stream to at least one of a plurality of speakers in the home based, at least in part, on the received occupancy data.
