Abstract

Methods and systems for security and/or automation systems are described. In some embodiments, the methods may include identifying an area of a premises associated with an occupant, identifying a wake up time associated with the occupant, identifying a location associated with the occupant, and initiating one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time and the area.

Claims (61)

1. A method for security and/or automation systems, comprising:

identifying an area of a premises associated with an occupant;

identifying a wake up time associated with the occupant;

determining, based on identifying the wake up time, a sleep irregularity;

identifying a location associated with the occupant;

initiating one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time, the area, and the sleep irregularity;

activating at the identified wake up time an alarm associated with the occupant; and

sending a notification based at least in part on the determining.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more automated actions comprise:

adjusting a light in the area at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more automated actions comprise:

playing an audio signal at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sleep irregularity may be determined by:

monitoring an aspect of the occupant, wherein the monitoring includes monitoring at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, or a body temperature, or a rate of movement, or an audible sound, or a bed use status, or a combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 4 , comprising:

determining a level of wakefulness of the occupant based at least in part on the monitoring.

6. The method of claim 4 , comprising:

determining an occupancy of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

7. The method of claim 4 , comprising:

determining a likelihood that the occupant is sick based at least in part on the monitoring.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

adjusting an environmental setting of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

9. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

identifying a potential delay associated with the occupant relative to the wake up time; and

sending a notification based at least in part on the potential delay.

10. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

identifying a position of the occupant relative to the area in relation to the wake up time; and

adjusting a light based at least in part on a detected light level and the location.

11. An apparatus for an automation system, comprising:

a processor;

memory in electronic communication with the processor; and

instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

identify an area of a premises associated with an occupant;

identify a wake up time associated with the occupant;

determine, based on identifying the wake up time, a sleep irregularity;

identify a location associated with the occupant;

initiate one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time the area, and the sleep irregularity;

activate at the identified wake up time an alarm associated with the occupant; and

send a notification based at least in part on the determining.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

adjust a light in the area at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

play an audio signal at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein when the processor determines the sleep irregularity, the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

monitor an aspect of the occupant, wherein the monitoring includes monitoring at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, or a body temperature, or a rate of movement, or an audible sound, or a bed use status, or a combination thereof.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine a level of wakefulness of the occupant based at least in part on the monitoring.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine an occupancy of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine a likelihood that the occupant is sick based at least in part on the monitoring.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

adjust an environmental setting of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for an automation system, the code executable by a processor to:

identify an area of a premises associated with an occupant;

identify a wake up time associated with the occupant;

determine, based on identifying the wake up time, a sleep irregularity;

identify a location associated with the occupant;

initiate one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time the area, and the sleep irregularity;

activate at the identified wake up time an alarm associated with the occupant; and

send a notification based at least in part on the determining.
