Abstract

A processor-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining sensor readings from a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of homes; receiving, from a computing device associated with a first one of the plurality of homes, a request for a live home score; determining, based on first sensor readings for at least one sensor associated with the first one of the plurality of homes and second sensor readings from corresponding sensors associated with at least a second one of the plurality of homes, a live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes; and sending the live home score to the computing device associated with the first one of the plurality of homes.

Claims (35)

1. A computing device, comprising:

a processor;

a communications module coupled to the processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to:

obtain sensor readings from a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of homes;

receive, from a first device associated with a first one of the plurality of homes, a request for a live home score;

determine, based on first sensor readings for at least one sensor associated with the first one of the plurality of homes and second sensor readings from the corresponding sensor of the plurality of sensors associated with at least a second one of the plurality of homes, the live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes;

determine a set of prioritized maintenance items for the first one of the plurality of homes based on comparing select ones of the second sensor readings to identify and rank maintenance items;

send the live home score and a message indicating at least a subset of the set of prioritized maintenance items as maintenance recommendations to the first device associated with the first one of the plurality of homes;

detect one or more maintenance events associated with one or more of the set of the prioritized maintenance items for the first one of the plurality of homes; and

output an updated live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes based on the detecting.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises one of: a water flow meter, a home alarm sensor, a water leak sensor, an electric power consumption meter, or a door and window sensor.

3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes represents a score that is relative to the live home scores for the at least one second one of the plurality of homes.

4. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes is determined based on the first sensor readings, the second sensor readings, and geographic location data associated with the first one of the plurality of homes.

5. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further configure the processor to identify the at least one second one of the plurality of homes based on determining that the at least one second one of the plurality of homes satisfy one or more similarity criteria with respect to the first one of the plurality of homes.

6. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the set of the prioritized maintenance items is determined based on at least one of weather data for a geographic region associated with the first one of the plurality of homes or utility usage data associated with the first one of the plurality of homes.

7. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further configure the processor to:

determine a set of utility usage recommendation items for the first one of the plurality of homes based on the second sensor readings; and

send, to the first device associated with the first one of the plurality of homes, a message indicating at least a subset of the set of the utility usage recommendation items.

8. A processor-implemented method, comprising:

obtaining sensor readings from a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of homes;

receiving, from a first device associated with a first one of the plurality of homes, a request for a live home score;

determining, based on first sensor readings for at least one sensor associated with the first one of the plurality of homes and second sensor readings from the corresponding sensor of the plurality of sensors associated with at least a second one of the plurality of homes, the live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes;

determining a set of prioritized maintenance items for the first one of the plurality of homes based on comparing select ones of the second sensor readings to identify and rank maintenance items;

sending the live home score and a message indicating at least a subset of the set of prioritized maintenance items as maintenance recommendations to the first device associated with the first one of the plurality of homes;

detecting one or more maintenance events associated with one or more of the set of the prioritized maintenance items for the first one of the plurality of homes; and

outputting an updated live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes based on the detecting.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises one of: a water flow meter, a home alarm sensor, a water leak sensor, an electric power consumption meter, or a door and window sensor.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes represents a score that is relative to the live home scores for the at least one second one of the plurality of homes.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the live home score for the first one of the plurality of homes is determined based on the first sensor readings, the second sensor readings, and geographic location data associated with the first one of the plurality of homes.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising identifying the at least one second one of the plurality of homes based on determining that the at least one second one of the plurality of homes satisfy one or more similarity criteria with respect to the first one of the plurality of homes.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the set of the prioritized maintenance items is determined based on at least one of weather data for a geographic region associated with the first one of the plurality of homes or utility usage data associated with the first one of the plurality of homes.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining a set of utility usage recommendation items for the first one of the plurality of homes based on the second sensor readings; and

sending, to the first device associated with the first one of the plurality of homes, a message indicating at least a subset of the set of the utility usage recommendation items.
