Fire alarm system device identification methods and systems are described herein. One fire alarm system, includes a gateway connected to a system control panel for allowing mobile device access to the system, a mobile device connected to the control panel, a fire alarm system control application on the mobile device, wherein the fire alarm control system application gains access to the control panel via the gateway, a search utility in the fire alarm control system application for identifying a particular fire alarm system device that is in a specific condition or location, and a database accessible via the fire alarm control system application wherein location and condition information about the plurality of fire alarm system devices is located, such that the search utility can search the database and identify the particular fire alarm system device from the other of the plurality of fire alarm system devices.

Methods and systems for commission, inspection, and maintenance of a connected fire alarm system

Methods and devices for usage profile based remote firmware upgrades for fire alarm system gateways are described herein. A method, includes creating a firmware upgrade package for a number of gateways of a number of fire alarm systems wherein each gateway has gateway operating firmware, panel connectivity firmware, and management firmware and wherein the firmware upgrade package has multiple parts, creating a firmware upgrade profile having information indicating the applicability of each of the multiple parts of the firmware upgrade package to one of the gateway operating firmware, panel connectivity firmware, and management firmware, comparing the firmware upgrade profile to a gateway usage profile of a particular gateway wherein the gateway usage profile contains information indicating usage characteristics for the gateway operating firmware, panel connectivity firmware, and management firmware, and selecting one or more of the multiple parts of the firmware upgrade package to download.

Usage profile based remote firmware upgrade for fire alarm system gateway

Operating a fire control system is described herein. One method includes receiving, at a gateway device, first operational data of a first format from a control panel, determining a model associated with the control panel based on the first operational data, wherein the model includes correlations between the first operational data and alarm information of a second format, receiving second operational data of the first format from the control panel, and determining alarm information of the second format associated with the second operational data based on the model.

Operating a fire control system

Methods, devices, and systems for generating a model for a control panel of a fire control system are described herein. One computing device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to: receive a test string from a control panel of a fire control system, the text string comprising a number of values; receive a number of locations from a user, wherein each location of the number of locations is a location within the text string of a value of the number of values corresponding to a variable of a number of variables; generate a model for the control panel based on the number of locations and the number of variables; and store the model in the memory.

A method, includes creating a firmware upgrade package for a number of gateways of a number of fire alarm systems wherein each gateway has gateway operating firmware, panel connectivity firmware, and management firmware and wherein the firmware upgrade package has multiple parts, creating a firmware upgrade profile having information indicating the applicability of each of the multiple parts of the firmware upgrade package to one of the gateway operating firmware, panel connectivity firmware, and management firmware, comparing the firmware upgrade profile to a gateway profile of a particular gateway wherein the gateway profile contains information indicating usage characteristics for the gateway operating firmware, panel connectivity firmware, and management firmware, and selecting one or more of the multiple parts of the firmware upgrade package to download.

A gateway device for a fire control system is described herein. The gateway device can comprise a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect that a network interface of the gateway device is connected to a network, receive data associated with the fire control system, and determine a data management scheme for the gateway device based on the type of detected network interface and the received data.

Gateway device for a fire control system

Systems and methods for dynamic output control hierarchy for wireless fire systems and for fire protection before and during the installation thereof are provided. Systems can include a fire system control panel, a gateway device coupled to the control panel, and a mesh network coupled to the gateway device. Responsive to the gateway device detecting a loss of communication with the control panel or a failure of the control panel, the gateway device can control activation of output devices in the mesh network. Responsive to a first device in the mesh network detecting a failure of the gateway device, the first device can control activation of the output devices in the mesh network. In some embodiments, the first device can control activation of the output devices of a second device in the mesh network, and in some embodiments, the first device can self-control activation of its own output devices.
