Abstract: A wireless device may be used to communicate with and control one or more components of an HVAC system from a remote location. The wireless device may be configured to display building control information on the display of the wireless device, wherein the building control information that is displayed may be adapted based, at least in part, on an identified pattern of user actions with the wireless device. The identified pattern may be at least partially based on user actions with associated geo-locations, times, and/or other conditions. The information that is to be displayed on the display of the wireless device may be determined based, at least in part, on a current time, a current geo-location of the wireless device, or other current condition in view of the identified pattern in user actions.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes an automation system that detects threats within a secured geographic area, a wireless wearable device worn by a human user that detects activities of the user, and a processor of the automation system that wirelessly receives the detected activities of the human user from the wearable device as the user enters the secured area, that associates at least one of the detected activities with a predetermined action, and that automatically implements a physical change within the secured area in support of the predetermined action.

Abstract: A user interface method can include providing an object to be controlled, providing a remote control device, capturing an image of the object, using the image of the object to recognize the object, and based on recognition of the object, displaying a second user interface on the viewing screen of the remote control device, wherein the second user interface is substantially identical to a first user interface of the object. A user interface method can also include providing an object to be controlled, providing a remote control device, focusing an image capturing device of the remote control device on the object, identifying coordinates, identifying the object as being associated with the identified coordinates, and based on identifying the object, displaying a second user interface on the viewing screen of the remote control device, wherein the second user interface is substantially identical to a first user interface of the object.
