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 (45)

1. A method, comprising:

identifying, at a home automation system, a wake up time associated with an occupant of a premises;

identifying a delay in the wake up time of the occupant;

adjusting a predetermined time for determining a location of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time;

determining the location of the occupant relative to the premises at the predetermined time based at least in part on the adjustment; and

performing, by the home automation system, a home automation security action associated with the premises based at least in part on determining the location of the occupant.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a notification to a user device of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, a body temperature, a rate of movement, an audible sound, a bed use status, or a combination thereof of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

determining a level of wakefulness of the occupant based at least in part on the heart rate, the respiratory rate, the body temperature, the rate of movement, the audible sound, the bed use status, or a combination thereof, wherein the home automation security action associated with the premises is based at least in part on the determination.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a subset of the premises associated with the occupant, wherein the home automation security action is performed in the subset of the premises.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the home automation security action comprises adjusting an environmental setting of the premises.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an irregularity in a schedule of the occupant based on the location of the occupant relative to the premises at the predetermined time, wherein the home automation security action is based at least in part on determining the irregularity.

8. An apparatus, 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 a delay in the wake up time of the occupant;

adjust a predetermined time for determining a location of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time;

determine the location of the occupant relative to the premises at the predetermined time based at least in part on the adjustment; and

perform, by the home automation system, a home automation security action associated with the premises based at least in part on determining the location of the occupant.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

transmit a notification to a user device of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, a body temperature, a rate of movement, an audible sound, a bed use status, or a combination thereof of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine a level of wakefulness of the occupant based at least in part on the heart rate, the respiratory rate, the body temperature, the rate of movement, the audible sound, the bed use status, or a combination thereof, wherein the home automation security action associated with the premises is based at least in part on the determination.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

identify a subset of the premises associated with the occupant, wherein the home automation security action is performed in the subset of the premises.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the home automation security action comprises adjusting an environmental setting of the premises.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:

determine an irregularity in a schedule of the occupant based on the location of the occupant relative to the premises at the predetermined time, wherein the home automation security action is based at least in part on determining the irregularity.

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

identify a delay in the wake up time of the occupant;

adjust a predetermined time for determining a location of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time;

determine the location of the occupant relative to the premises at the predetermined time based at least in part on the adjustment; and

perform, by the home automation system, a home automation security action associated with the premises based at least in part on determining the location of the occupant.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the code executable by a processor to:

transmit a notification to a user device of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the code executable by a processor to:

determine at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, a body temperature, a rate of movement, an audible sound, a bed use status, or a combination thereof of the occupant based at least in part on identifying the delay in the wake up time.
