According to one or more embodiments described herein, a computer-implemented method includes detecting a trigger event occurring at a physical space. The method further includes generating, by the processing system, a temporary network and a temporary authorization code to permit access to the physical space based at least in part on an analysis of information associated with the detected trigger event. The method further includes transmitting, by the processing system, information about the temporary network and the temporary authorization code to a second processing system. The method further includes implementing, by the processing system, an automation routine responsive to detecting the trigger event.

Authenticating access to a physical space

A computing device is provided. The computing device includes a touchscreen, a speaker configured to output sounds corresponding to the musical notes and a processor. The processor defines an area of the touchscreen as a note timing entry region and a remainder of the touchscreen as an interface region. The processor also records a timing of user taps in the note timing entry region and controls the speaker to output the sounds corresponding to the musical notes in the sequence in accordance with the timing of the user taps.
