Agent safety apparatus and method

A method of testing a smoke alarm system including: receiving a first manual input via an input device of a mobile device from a user of the mobile device, the first manual input indicating that the user would like to initiate a test of the smoke alarm system including one or more smoke alarms, the one or more smoke alarms including at least a first smoke alarm; determining a time slot allocation, the time slot allocation indicating when each of the one or more smoke alarms should emit an alarm; transmitting the time slot allocation to each of the one or more smoke alarms, wherein each of the one or more smoke alarms is configured to activate the alarm in accordance with the time slot allocation; activating a first alarm on the first smoke alarm; and receiving a second manual input indicating that the user has heard the first alarm.

Method to test smoke alarm sounders

A method of hushing one or more fire detectors of a fire detector system including: receiving an alert using a computer application of a trusted individual computing device, the alert indicating that fire has been detected by at least one of the one or more fire detectors; searching for a wireless advertisement emitted from the one or more fire detectors in response to the alert using the computer application; detecting the wireless advertisement being emitted from the one or more fire detectors using the computer application; and receiving a manual input via an input device of the trusted individual computing device to hush the fire detector from a trusted individual in possession of the trusted individual computing device; and transmitting a hush request to the one of the one or more fire detectors in response to the manual input using the computer application.

Method for hushing fire detectors

A security panel for controlling home automation devices via a voice assistant device is provided, in which the security panel includes a processor, a memory, a microphone, and a speaker. In one example implementation, the security panel is configured to receive a text input from a user, convert the text input into an audio format via a text-to-speech engine to generate a first voice command for controlling one or more home automation devices via a voice assistant device, and to output the first voice command via the speaker of the security panel, in which the first voice command is received by the voice assistant device via a microphone of the voice assistant device, in which the voice assistant device is configured to control the one or more home automation devices based on the first voice command.

Controlling home automation devices through security panel using voice assistant

A system and a method for controlling temperature in different zones of a premises. A method includes receiving a measurement of temperature sensed by a first fire detector positioned at a first zone of a premises. The method further includes receiving a measurement of temperature sensed by a second fire detector positioned at a second zone of the premises. The method also includes controlling the temperature by a thermostat in the first zone based on the measurement of the sensed temperature received from the first fire detector and in the second zone based on the measurement of the sensed temperature received from the second fire detector.

Method and a system for controlling temperature in different zones of a premises

A method is provided herein. The method includes disabling, by an electronic lock box, a programmable key based on the programmable key being placed in the electronic lock box. The method also includes enabling, by the electronic lock box, the programmable key based on the electronic lock box being accessed.

Privileged access and anti-theft protection for premises using lock box

A method of operating a secure wireless network between a master controller and a secure device is provided. The method comprising: detecting at least one of a NONCE-GET and a NONCE-REPORT using a sniffer configured to detect wireless signals from a selected wireless protocol; determining that the NONCE-GET was not transmitted by a master controller or that the NONCE-REPORT was not in response to a NONCE-GET transmitted by the master controller, the master controller being in electronic communication with the sniffer; and transmitting a new NONCE-GET to the secure device from the master controller.

Systems and method to address the security vulnerability in wireless networks

A security system includes a sensor configured to detect a distance to an object along a direction in an area; an alarm panel in communication with the sensor; at least one of the sensor and the alarm panel configured to determine a state of the object in response to the distance to the object along the direction.
