Connected door hinge
A computer-implemented method includes receiving a disarm code, comparing, the received disarm code to a stored disarm code, determining that the received disarm code matches the stored disarm code, determining a property access pattern that corresponds to the stored disarm code, that identifies a first group of doors at the property that should be opened, and that identifies a second group of doors at the property that should be closed, providing to each door hinge device on a respective door of the first group, a first instruction to open, providing to each door hinge device on each of the doors of the second group, a second instruction to close, and disarming the monitoring system.
1. A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property, the monitoring system comprising:
a sensor that is configured to generate sensor data that reflects an attribute of the property;
a first door hinge that is configured to open and close a first door of the property;
a second door hinge that is configured to open and close a second door of the property;
a monitor control unit that is configured to:
receive the sensor data;
based on the sensor data, determine that an event has occurred at the property;
based on the event that has occurred at the property, determine to open the first door and close the second door;
provide, to the first door hinge, an instruction to open the first door;
provide, to the second door hinge, an instruction to close the second door;
receive, from the second door hinge, data indicating that the second door hinge is unable to close the second door;
based on receiving data indicating that the second door hinge is unable to close the second door, generate a notification indicating that the second door is unable to close; and
provide, for output, the notification indicating that the second door is unable to close.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor control unit is configured to:
determine an arming status of the monitoring system,
wherein determining to open the first door and close the second door is based on the arming status of the monitoring system.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor control unit is configured to:
determine that the first door is closed and that the second door is open,
wherein determining to open the first door and close the second door is based on the first door being closed and the second door being open.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor control unit is configured to:
determine that a person is located in a first room associated with the first door; and
determine that the event is located in a second room associated with the second door,
wherein determining to open the first door and close the second door is based on determining that a person is located in the first room associated with the first door and determining that the event is located in the second room associated with the second door.
5. The system of claim 1 , comprising:
a third door hinge that is configured to open and close a third door of the property; and
a fourth door hinge that is configured to open and close a fourth door of the property,
wherein the monitor control unit is configured to:
receive a security code;
based on the security code, determine to open the third door and close the fourth door;
provide, to the third door hinge, an instruction to open the third door; and
provide, to the fourth door hinge, an instruction to close the fourth door.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the monitor control unit is configured to:
compare the security code to multiple stored security codes; and
determine that the security code matches a particular stored security code of the stored security code,
wherein determining to open the third door and close the fourth door is based on determining that the security code matches a particular stored security code of the stored security code.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein each of the multiple stored security codes corresponds to a different subset of doors being opened and closed.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first door hinge and the second door hinge each include a telescoping rod that is configured to close a respective door by extending.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first door hinge and the second door hinge each include a motor and gear box that is configured to open and close a respective door.
10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property, sensor data that reflects an attribute of the property;
based on the sensor data, determining, by the monitoring system that an event has occurred at the property;
based on the event that has occurred at the property, determining, by the monitoring system, to open a first door of the property and close a second door of the property;
providing, by the monitoring system and to a first door hinge that is configured to open and close the first door, an instruction to open the first door;
providing, by the monitoring system and to a second door hinge that is configured to open and close the second door, an instruction to close the second door;
receiving, by the monitoring system and from the second door hinge, data indicating that the second door hinge is unable to close the second door;
based on receiving data indicating that the second door hinge is unable to close the second door, generating by the monitoring system, a notification indicating that the second door is unable to close; and
provide, for output by the monitoring system, the notification indicating that the second door is unable to close.
11. The method of claim 10 , comprising:
determining, by the monitoring system, an arming status of the monitoring system,
wherein determining to open the first door and close the second door is based on the arming status of the monitoring system.
12. The method of claim 10 , comprising:
determining, by the monitoring system, that the first door is closed and that the second door is open,
wherein determining to open the first door and close the second door is based on the first door being closed and the second door being open.
13. The method of claim 10 , comprising:
determining, by the monitoring system, that a person is located in a first room associated with the first door; and
determining, by the monitoring system, that the event is located in a second room associated with the second door,
wherein determining to open the first door and close the second door is based on determining that a person is located in the first room associated with the first door and determining that the event is located in the second room associated with the second door.
14. The method of claim 10 , comprising:
receiving, by the monitoring system, a security code;
based on the security code, determining, by the monitoring system, to open a third door of the property and close a fourth door of the property;
providing, by the monitoring system and to a third door hinge that is configured to open and close the third door, an instruction to open the third door; and
providing, by the monitoring system and to a fourth door hinge that is configured to open and close the fourth door, an instruction to close the fourth door.
15. The method of claim 14 , comprising:
comparing, by the monitoring system, the security code to multiple stored security codes; and
determining, by the monitoring system, that the security code matches a particular stored security code of the stored security code,
wherein determining to open the third door and close the fourth door is based on determining that the security code matches a particular stored security code of the stored security code.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein each of the multiple stored security codes corresponds to a different subset of doors being opened and closed.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first door hinge and the second door hinge each include a telescoping rod that is configured to close a respective door by extending.
18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first door hinge and the second door hinge each include a motor and gear box that is configured to open and close a respective door.
