Abstract

Claims (30)

1. A method for installing a security or automation system, comprising: identifying, by a processor of a control panel of a security or automation system, a speech recognizable input, the speech recognizable input relating to installation of a system component, the system component being in communication with the control panel; identifying a type of the system component from the speech recognizable input; determining whether the specified type matches at least one type from a list of system component types; performing an installation task for the system component based at least in part on the speech recognizable input; detecting a triggering event generated by the system component; receiving, from the system component, information related to the triggering event; and verifying the installation of the system component by comparing information identified via the speech recognizable input with the information received from the system component to detect a match.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising; identifying a setting of the system component from the speech recognizable input; and upon determining the system component is associated with a standard, determining whether the setting of the system component complies with the standard.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a serial number of the system component from the speech recognizable input.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a zone type of the system component from the speech recognizable input.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a sensor loop number of the system component from the speech recognizable input, the system component comprising a sensor loop number for each function of the system component.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

communicatively coupling the control panel with a mobile device; and

identifying, by the control panel, the speech recognizable input in a data communication sent from the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein processing the speech recognizable input to determine the type of the speech recognizable input comprises:

determining the speech recognizable input as a command.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

authenticating the installer via installer identification information, the speech recognizable input comprising at least a portion of the installer identification information; and

upon verifying the installation of the system component, decrementing the installed system component from an inventory of components associated with the installer.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the installation task comprises:

communicating to the installer information received via the speech recognizable input.

10. A system configured for installing a security or automation system, comprising: a processor; one or more speakers; memory in electronic communication with the processor; instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to: identify a speech recognizable input, the speech recognizable input relating to installation of a system component, the system component being in communication with a control panel; identify a type of the system component from the speech recognizable input; determine whether the specified type matches at least one type from a list of system component types; perform an installation task for the system component based at least in part on the speech recognizable input; detect a triggering event generated by the system component; receive, from the system component, information related to the triggering event; and verify the installation of the system component by comparing information identified via the speech recognizable input with the information received from the system component to detect a match.

11. The home automation system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to: identify a setting of the system component from the speech recognizable input; and upon determining the system component is associated with a standard, determine whether the setting of the system component complies with the standard.

12. The home automation system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

identify a serial number of the system component from the speech recognizable input.

13. The home automation system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

identify a zone type of the system component from the speech recognizable input.

14. The home automation system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

identify a sensor loop number of the system component from the speech recognizable input, the system component comprising a sensor loop number for each function of the system component.

15. The home automation system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

communicatively couple the control panel with a mobile device; and

identify the speech recognizable input in a data communication sent from the mobile device.

16. A computer-program product for installing, via a processor, a security or automation system, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, the instructions being executable by the processor to: identify a speech recognizable input, the speech recognizable input relating to installation of a system component, the system component being in communication with a control panel; identify a type of the system component from the speech recognizable input; determine whether the specified type matches at least one type from a list of system component types; perform an installation task for the system component based at least in part on the speech recognizable input and the determined type; detect a triggering event generated by the system component; receive, from the system component, information related to the triggering event; and verify the installation of the system component by comparing information identified via the speech recognizable input with the information received from the system component to detect a match.
