Cross-client sensor user interface in an integrated security network
An integrated system includes a system user interface (SUI) that provides an iconic, at-a-glance representation of integrated security system status. The SUI is for use across all client devices including mobile or cellular telephones, a mobile portal, a web portal, and a touchscreen device. The SUI includes a number of display elements presented across all types of client devices for monitoring status of the integrated security system. The display elements of the SUI include an orb icon, text summary, security button, device warnings, system warnings, interesting sensors, and quiet sensors. The SUI thus provides system status summary information agnostically across all clients. Additionally, the SUI provides consistent iconography, terminology, and display rules across all clients as well as consistent sensor and system detail across clients.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons is configured to cause the user interface to one or more of: output the icons in an arrangement indicative of the priority, output the icons at positions indicative of the priority, output the icons in groups indicative of the priority, or output the icons having characteristics indicative of the priority.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority of the at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices is based on an order of a list of premises devices.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons based on the priority is configured to cause the user interface to output the icons in an order indicative of the priority.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons based on the priority is configured to cause the user interface to output an icon associated with the at least one premises device above an icon associated with another premises device.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons based on the priority is configured to cause a modification of output of one or more of the icons.
12. A gateway device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the gateway device to:
cause output, to at least one computing device located external to a premises, of a user interface that comprises icons associated with a plurality of premises devices located at the premises;
receive, from at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices, data indicative of a state of the at least one premises device;
determine, based on the data, a priority associated with the at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices, wherein the priority is based on a time associated with receiving the data from the at least one premises device; and
send, to the at least one computing device, data configured to cause the user interface to output, based on the priority, the icons.
13. The gateway device of claim 12 , wherein the gateway device is configured to receive an indication of a previous time; and
wherein the gateway device is configured to determine the priority of the at least one premises device by determining the priority of the at least one premises device at the previous time.
14. The gateway device of claim 13 , wherein the user interface comprises an interactive timeline icon indicating a plurality of selectable times; and
wherein the gateway device is configured to receive the indication of the previous time by determining selection, via the interactive timeline icon, of the previous time.
15. The gateway device of claim 12 , wherein the priority is further based on at least one of a triggered state, an untriggered state, a tampered state, an untampered state, a tripped state, an untripped state, an offline state, an online state, an installing state, a battery state, or a bypassed state of the at least one premises device.
16. The gateway device of claim 12 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons is configured to output the icons in an order based on the priority.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
causing output, to at least one computing device located external to a premises, of a user interface that comprises icons associated with a plurality of premises devices located at the premises;
receiving, from at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices, data indicative of a state of the at least one premises device;
determining, based on the data, a priority associated with the at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices, wherein the priority is based on a time associated with receiving the data from the at least one premises device; and
sending, to the at least one computing device, data configured to cause the user interface to output, based on the priority, the icons.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons is configured to output a first group of icons associated with premises devices in a first state and a second group of icons associated with premises devices in a second state different than the first state.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons is configured to output the icons associated with the premises devices in the first state listed prior to the icons associated with the premises devices in the second state.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the data configured to cause the user interface to output the icons is configured to output the icons having at least one of a color, a brightness, a shape, or a location indicative of the priority.
21. A system comprising:
at least one premises device of a plurality of premises devices located at a premises; and
