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 security and/or automation systems, comprising:
identifying an area of a premises associated with an occupant;
identifying a wake up time associated with the occupant;
determining, based on identifying the wake up time, a sleep irregularity;
identifying a location associated with the occupant;
initiating one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time, the area, and the sleep irregularity;
activating at the identified wake up time an alarm associated with the occupant; and
sending a notification based at least in part on the determining.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more automated actions comprise:
adjusting a light in the area at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more automated actions comprise:
playing an audio signal at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sleep irregularity may be determined by:
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.

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

6. The method of claim 4 , comprising:
determining an occupancy of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

7. The method of claim 4 , comprising:
determining a likelihood that the occupant is sick based at least in part on the monitoring.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
adjusting an environmental setting of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

9. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
identifying a potential delay associated with the occupant relative to the wake up time; and
sending a notification based at least in part on the potential delay.

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

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;
determine, based on identifying the wake up time, a sleep irregularity;
identify a location associated with the occupant;
initiate one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time the area, and the sleep irregularity;
activate at the identified wake up time an alarm associated with the occupant; and
send a notification based at least in part on the determining.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
adjust a light in the area at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
play an audio signal at least once based at least in part on the wake up time.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein when the processor determines the sleep irregularity, the instructions are further 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.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
determine a level of wakefulness of the occupant based at least in part on the monitoring.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
determine an occupancy of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
determine a likelihood that the occupant is sick based at least in part on the monitoring.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , the instructions being executable by the processor to:
adjust an environmental setting of the premises based at least in part on the monitoring.

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;
determine, based on identifying the wake up time, a sleep irregularity;
identify a location associated with the occupant;
initiate one or more automated actions based at least in part on the wake up time the area, and the sleep irregularity;
activate at the identified wake up time an alarm associated with the occupant; and
send a notification based at least in part on the determining.
