Abstract: Methods and systems are described for selecting a level of autonomy. According to at least one embodiment, a method for selecting a level of autonomy includes determining a first likely condition of a first user of a task and/or building system, selecting a first autonomy level from multiple levels based at least in part on the first likely condition, and making a first decision in the task and/or the building system based on the first autonomy level.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for deterrence techniques using a security and automation system are described. In one method, the system may receive a set of inputs from one or more sensors of the security and automation system. The system may determine one or more characteristics of a person proximate the security and automation system based at least in part on the received set of inputs. The system may predict an event based at least in part on a correlation between the one or more characteristics and the event. The system may perform one or more security and automation actions prior to the predicted event.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for lighting control are described. An apparatus may include a processor, memory, a power component, a set of control buttons, and one or more radio components for lighting control. The apparatus may be a light control device associated with a home or automation system. The light control device may be a light switch cover with a cover plate that encapsulate a light switch. The light switch cover may have a radio, a battery, and control circuitry for lighting control.

Abstract: The described features generally relate to improved methods, systems, and devices for techniques for lead information sharing. A device may transmit a first message indicating a person (i.e., a lead) identified by a setting representative. The first message may include one or more scores of the person, the setting representative, or both. The device may receive a second message indicating a request for information of the person. The second message may include a score of a closing representative. The device may identify that the closing representative is selected for sending the information of the person. The device may transmit a third message indicating that the closing representative is selected. The third message may include the information of the person.
