  • Patent number: 11792037
    Abstract: A safety automation system for an occupiable structure includes a computing management system, a first detection device, and a second detection device. The management system includes a computer processor, and a computer readable storage medium configured to run embedded software, The first detection device is adapted to detect a hazard condition and output an associated hazard condition detected signal to the computing management system. The second detection device is adapted to detect the presence of an occupant in the occupiable structure and the occupant's proximity to the first detection device, and output an occupied signal to the computing management system. The computing management system adjusts the sensitivity of the first detection device based on occupancy and proximity of the occupant to the first detection device.

  • Patent number: 11240056
    Abstract: A safety automation system for an occupiable structure includes a computing management system including a computer processor, and a computer readable storage medium configured to run embedded software and cloud server software. A fire detection device of the automation system is adapted to detect a fire condition and output an associated fire condition detected signal to the computing management system. A condition deterrence device is configured to accept a wireless command signal from the computing management system associated with the fire condition detected signal and for actuating an appliance to at least reduce risk presented by the condition.

  • Publication number: 20180204441
    Abstract: A safety automation system (20) for an occupiable structure includes a microphone (54) configured to receive an audible signature (50) and output an audible signature signal. A computing management system (40) of the automation system is configured to receive the audible signature signal and output a command signal. The command signal may be sent to appliances (36) within the structure that perform specific tasks in response to the command.
