Patent number: 10042652Abstract: A method for operating a home automation system includes receiving a device modification request from a requesting user device of a requesting user to modify a configurable device property of a requested household device. The requesting user is one of one or more users associated with the household. The method further includes identifying the requested household device based on a home structure mapping the household devices to the corresponding device rooms based on a corresponding location of each household device in the residence. The method also includes determining whether the requesting user has an assigned access level granting access to the requested household device and allowing modification of the one or more configurable device properties of the requested household device. When the requesting user has been assigned an access level, the method includes permitting the modification of the at least one configurable device property of the requested household device.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Mackenzie Lee Jacoby, Robert Toscano, Mark Spates, IV, David Matthew Anthony Putzolu
