Aspects of the present disclosure correspond to managing premises by processing input data, such as the appliance's operational and usage profiles and/or individual's health and behavior profile. One aspect of the present disclosure related monitoring aspect based on processing the appliance's operational and usage profiles. For example, the appliance's operational parameters together with sensor data associated with the appliances can be utilized to monitor the premises. Another aspect of the present disclosure related to generating command instructions for the individual (e.g., premise user) based on the individual's health and behavior profile. For example, the usage of the appliances can provide to the individual one or more commanding instructions based on the individual's health and behavior profile.

Managing local sensor data based on profile information

A stove controller starts an unattended timer when a cooking process is started. The controller monitors whether motion is detected in the kitchen prior to the unattended timer expiring and resets the unattended timer each time motion is detected. If the unattended timer expires without any motion being detected, the controller disables the heating elements of the stove and starts a return timer. The controller monitors whether motion is detected in the kitchen prior to the return timer expiring. When motion is detected, the controller automatically re-enables the heating elements of the stove so that cooking can continue. If motion is not detected and the return timer expires, the controller locks the stove until a reset procedure is performed. Alerts of the stove activity are sent to external devices over the Internet, and the reset procedure may be performed on the controller or on one of the external devices.
