Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for allowing interaction between consumer appliance devices and security systems are provided herein. An exemplary method may include allowing various interactions of a user with a consumer appliance device to generate n signal, such as a panic signal, causing various forms of security systems to escalate the signal to obtain help. Another exemplary method involves allowing the device, when placing the panic signal, to involve back end systems related to the security system to provision access to an emergency service provider (i.e., 911 provider) 'just in time,' eliminating the need for costly pre-provisioning. Another exemplary method involves various sensors of the security system to communicate with consumer appliance devices to improve the performance, usability, or efficiency of the consumer appliance device or related systems.
