A deadbolt system securing an access point includes a deadbolt and a deadbolt sensor configured to characterize the performance of the deadbolt. The deadbolt system generates a resistance signature when the deadbolt is moved between a retracted and extended position which is comparable to a threshold or a previously recorded resistance signature. The comparison may determine the presence of one or more performance inhibitors which may be conveyed to an operator through a local or remote indicator.

Deadbolt performance detecting system

A garage door opener system includes a garage door opener having one or more sensors configured to monitor the status of a garage door as it moves between first and second positions. The garage door opener system may detect one or more anomalies in a profile generated from information from the one or more sensors and alert a user to the presence of those anomalies. The garage door opener system may allow a user to find and contact a service provider to address the one or more anomalies.

Door lock set

A method of remotely operating a door lock. The method includes transmitting a first signal from a remote device to a router via a network; transmitting the signal from the router to a mesh network gateway; translating the signal from a network protocol to a mesh network protocol to produce a second signal; transmitting the second signal from the mesh network gateway to the door lock using radio frequency signaling over the mesh network; receiving the second signal at the door lock; and performing an operation at the door lock in response to the second signal being received by the door lock.
