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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for an automation system, comprising:
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;
determining a status of the occupant at a designated time after the wake up time; and
providing a prompt in a notification output regarding the status of the occupant, wherein the prompt allows a recipient of the notification output to activate an alarm.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
initiating one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time and the area.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a response to the prompt in the notification output to activate the alarm; and
activating the alarm for the occupant based on receiving the response to the prompt.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring an aspect of the occupant, wherein the monitoring includes monitoring at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, or a body temperature, or a rate of movement, or an audible sound, or a bed use status, or a combination thereof, wherein the status of the occupant is based on the one or more monitored aspects of the occupant.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein determining the status of the occupant further comprises:
determining a level of wakefulness of the occupant based at least in part on the monitoring.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the wake up time further comprises:
determining an alarm time associated with an electronic device associated with the occupant.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the wake up time further comprises:
determining the wake up time for the occupant based at least in part on an appointment in an electronic calendar associated with the occupant.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
identifying a potential delay associated with the occupant relative to the wake up time, wherein the notification output indicates at least in part the potential delay.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a position of the occupant relative to the area of the premises in relation to the wake up time; and
adjusting a light based at least in part on a detected light level and the location associated with the occupant.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether the occupant has performed one or more tasks, wherein the notification output indicates which of the one or more tasks the occupant has performed.

11. An apparatus for an automation system, 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 an area of a premises associated with an occupant;
identify a wake up time associated with the occupant;
identify a location associated with the occupant; and
determine a status of the occupant at a designated time after the wake up time; and
provide a prompt in a notification output regarding the status of the occupant, wherein the prompt allows a recipient of the notification output to activate an alarm.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
initiate one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time and the area.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
receive a response to the prompt in the notification to activate the alarm; and
activate the alarm for the occupant based on receiving the response to the prompt.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
monitor an aspect of the occupant, wherein the monitoring includes monitoring at least one of a heart rate, or a respiratory rate, or a body temperature, or a rate of movement, or an audible sound, or a bed use status, or a combination thereof, wherein the status of the occupant is based on the one or more monitored aspects of the occupant.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to identify the wake up time further comprises:
determine an alarm time associated with an electronic device associated with the occupant.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the instructions to identify the wake up time further comprises:
determine the wake up time for the occupant based at least in part on an appointment in an electronic calendar associated with the occupant.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
identify a potential delay associated with the occupant relative to the wake up time, wherein the notification output indicates at least in part the potential delay.

18. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
determine whether the occupant has performed one or more tasks, wherein the notification output indicates which of the one or more tasks the occupant has performed.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for an automation system, the code executable by a processor to:
identify an area of a premises associated with an occupant;
identify a wake up time associated with the occupant;
identify a location associated with the occupant; and
determine a status of the occupant at a designated time after the wake up time; and
provide a prompt in a notification output regarding the status of the occupant, wherein the prompt allows a recipient of the notification output to activate an alarm.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to:
receive a response to the prompt in the notification to activate the alarm; and
activate the alarm for the occupant based on receiving the response to the prompt.
