10. A computing system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

determining an operating state of a heat source;

determining an occupancy of a dwelling that includes the heat source;

determining, based on the determined operating state of the heat source and the determined occupancy of the dwelling, whether a heat-source alert condition is met;

in accordance with a determination that the heat-source alert condition is met, generating a heat-source alert;

after generating the heat-source alert, receiving from a user acknowledgement of the heat-source alert, the acknowledgement including a first classification of a plurality of classifications for the heat-source alert, wherein the plurality of classifications include a false alarm classification and a valid alarm classification; and

in response to receiving the acknowledgement of the heat-source alert, determining that the acknowledgement includes the first classification for the heat-source alert; and

in accordance with the determination that the acknowledgement includes the first classification, modifying the heat-source alert condition for future heat-source alerts.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein modifying the heat-source alert condition includes changing a first threshold time of the heat-source alert condition to a second threshold time that is greater than the first threshold time.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein modifying the heat-source alert condition includes changing a first threshold temperature of the heat-source alert condition to a second threshold temperature that is greater than the first threshold temperature.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the determination that the heat-source alert condition is met is a first determination and the heat-source alert is a first heat-source alert, and wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions for:

in accordance with a second determination that the heat-source alert condition is met, generating a second heat-source alert;

after generating the second heat-source alert, receiving a second user acknowledgement the second heat-source alert, the second user acknowledgement including a second classification for the second heat-source alert;

in response to receiving the second user acknowledgement for the second heat-source alert, cancelling the second heat-source alert without modifying the heat-source alert condition.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more programs further comprise instructions for:

receiving ambient temperature data for a room with the heat source from an ambient temperature sensor located in the room with the heat source; and

determining the operating state of the heat source in the room based at least in part on the received ambient temperature data.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein modifying the heat-source alert condition comprises:

associating a pattern of sensed household activity with the user acknowledgement; and

changing the heat-source alert condition to additionally require an absence of the pattern.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of classifications further include a late alarm classification indicating that the heat-source alert was not generated promptly enough.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:

determine an operating state of a heat source;

determine an occupancy of a dwelling that includes the heat source;

determine, based on the determined operating state of the heat source and the determined occupancy of the dwelling, whether a heat-source alert condition is met;
