A computer implemented method includes receiving one or more user set preferences for detecting a hub alarm condition and one or more actions to perform in response to detecting a hub alarm condition, receiving, from the output of the security panel, data indicating that a traditional alarm condition occurred, based on receiving data indicating a traditional alarm condition occurred at the monitored property, receiving sensor data from at least one wireless sensor in a vicinity of a hardwired sensor associated with the traditional alarm condition, determining, based on the sensor data received from at least one wireless sensor in a vicinity of the hardwired sensor associated the traditional alarm condition, that the sensor data satisfies a condition, and in response to determining that the sensor data satisfies a condition, performing an action.

Adaptation of a security control panel

In some implementations, systems and techniques are described to automatically unlock a front door of a property in response to detecting an alarm signal indicating an emergency at or near a property. Data indicating occurrence of an emergency condition at a property is initially obtained. A lock configuration for an electronic lock of the property is determined. An unlock instruction is generated for the electronic lock based on the determined lock configuration for the electronic lock. The unlock instruction is transmitted to the electronic lock such that, when the unlock instruction is received by the electronic lock, the electronic lock is unlocked according to the unlock instruction.

Automatic emergency door unlock system

A computer implemented method including receiving, by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property and from an electronic pool device that is configured to monitor a swimming pool at the property, sensor data, analyzing, by the monitoring system, the sensor data, based on analyzing the sensor data, generating, by the monitoring system, an instruction to activate a camera of the electronic pool device, providing, by the monitoring system to the electronic pool device, the instruction to activate the camera, receiving, by the monitoring system from the electronic pool device, image data, analyzing, by the monitoring system, the image data, based on analyzing the image data, identifying a monitoring system action to perform, and performing the monitoring system action.

Swimming pool monitoring

Techniques are described for determining that a property is vacant based on monitoring data collected by connected sensors and appliances near or within the property. In response to determining that a property is vacant, the condition of the vacant property can be monitored for various risks such as fire safety and security breaches. Monitoring techniques may also be used to determine when a new customer (e.g., a new tenant or property owner) has moved into the property. In response to detecting a move-in, one or more notifications may be transmitted to assist the new customer to customize a security system associated with the property. In this regard, techniques described herein may be used by service providers to improve the transition associated with move-in and move-out processes, which may also improve retention of monitoring services.

Detection and handling of home owner moving by a home monitoring system

Systems and techniques are described for monitoring an electronic pet fence at a residential facility. In some implementations, a monitoring system monitors a property that includes sensors located throughout the property that generate sensor data and an electronic fence transmitter that is configured to detect movement of an electronic device across an electronic fence. An electronic fence supervisor is configured to detect an error in the electronic fence transmitter or the electronic fence. In response to detecting the error, the electronic fence supervisor generates data indicating the error. A monitor control unit is configured to receive the data indicating the error and sensor data. Based on the data indicating the error and the sensor, the monitor control unit selects, from among multiple monitoring system actions, a monitoring system action. The monitor control unit performs the monitoring system action.

Pet monitoring

A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property is disclosed. The monitoring system includes a sensor that is configured to generate sensor data that reflects an attribute of the property. The monitoring system further includes a stair lift that is configured to transport a person up and down stairs at the property and that is configured to generate stair lift data that reflects a status of the stair lift. The monitoring system further includes a monitor control unit that is configured to receive the sensor data and the stair lift data. The monitor control unit is further configured to analyze the sensor data and the stair lift data. The monitor control unit is further configured to determine that an event occurred at the property. The monitor control unit is further configured to, based on determining that the event occurred at the property, perform a monitoring system action.
