Wireless event notification system having a wireless device configured to communicate at dynamically configurable frequencies

1. An event notification system comprising:

a control assembly;

a battery; and

a wireless device powered by the battery and configured to communicate with the control assembly at dynamically configurable frequencies, wherein the wireless device is configured to communicate with the control assembly at a first frequency when in a disarmed status, and communicate with the control assembly at a second frequency when in an armed status, wherein the first frequency is greater than the second frequency, and wherein the control assembly is configured to receive a plurality of heartbeats from the wireless device and send a heartbeat response of a plurality of heartbeat responses to a respective heartbeat of the plurality of heartbeats, and wherein the first and second frequencies are heartbeat frequencies, and wherein the first and second frequencies are different regardless of battery level.

2. The event notification system set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

a user application configured to send armed and disarmed commands to the control assembly, wherein the armed command is sent to the wireless device as part of the next heartbeat response of the plurality of heartbeat responses, and the disarmed command is sent to the wireless device after the control assembly receives an event condition from the wireless device.

3. The event notification system set forth in claim 2 , wherein the control assembly includes a controller and an Access Point (AP) device for wirelessly transmitting the plurality of heartbeats and the plurality of heartbeat responses between the controller and the wireless device.

4. The event notification system set forth in claim 3 , wherein the AP device is a router.

5. The event notification system set forth in claim 3 , wherein the controller is a server.

6. The event notification system set forth in claim 5 , wherein the server is a cloud server.

7. The event notification system set forth in claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to send a disarmed response to the user application in response to receiving the disarmed command, and without sending the disarmed command to the wireless device via the AP device.

8. The event notification system set forth in claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to buffer the armed command prior to the controller sending the armed command to the wireless device via the next heartbeat response.

9. The event notification system set forth in claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to buffer the disarmed command and suppress the event condition when the disarmed command is buffered.

10. The event notification system set forth in claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to buffer the armed command prior to the controller sending the armed command to the wireless device via the next heartbeat response.

11. The event notification system set forth in claim 2 , wherein the user application is a mobile application.

12. The event notification system set forth in claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is a Power Save Mode (PSM) device.

13. The event notification system set forth in claim 1 , wherein the wireless device includes a plurality of awake states intervened by a plurality of sleep states, and each heartbeat of the plurality of heartbeats are sent during a respective awake state of the plurality of awake states.

14. The event notification system set forth in claim 13 , wherein a duration of each sleep state when the wireless device is in the armed status is greater than a duration of each sleep state when the wireless device is in the disarmed status.

15. A method of operating an event notification system comprising:

powering a wireless device by a battery;

placing the wireless device in a disarmed status;

establishing a first frequency of communication between the wireless device and a control assembly when in the disarmed status;

placing the wireless device in an armed status; and

establishing a second frequency of communication between the wireless device and the control assembly when in the armed status, wherein the first frequency of communication is greater than the second frequency of communication, wherein the wireless device is in an awake state when communicating, and is in a sleep state when not communicating, and wherein a duration of the sleep state when the wireless device is in the armed status is greater than a duration of the sleep state when the wireless device is in the disarmed status, and wherein the first and second frequencies are different regardless of battery level.

16. The method set forth in claim 15 , further comprising:

sending a disarm command from a user application to a control assembly;

sending a disarmed status response from the control assembly to the user application in response to the disarm command; and

buffering the disarm command by the control assembly, wherein communication between the control assembly and the wireless device is at the second frequency when the disarm command is buffered by the control assembly.
