Abstract
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.
