Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for a wireless router. The router includes a first radio frequency (RF) modem and a hardware card slot configured to receive an RF modem card configured to communicate according to a second RF protocol with one or more electronic devices. The router is configured to identify first events based on the traffic on a first WLAN protocol; translate the input received from the one or more electronic devices to a feature of a device profile; identify second events based on input received from the one or more electronic devices via the second RF protocol; generate a command to control a first device of the wireless devices or the electronic devices based on the device; and translate the command from the device profile of the first device to the first WLAN protocol or the second RF protocol.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising receiving, by a multi-capability device from a control panel, a message configured according to a protocol that defines a packet format configurable to indicate each queried capability of the multi-capability device; transmitting, responsive to the message querying a single capability of the multi-capability device, a second message from the multi-capability device to the control panel, wherein the second message includes a packet configured according to the packet format to include a state or data value for the single capability of the device; and transmitting, responsive to the message querying at least two capabilities of the multi-capability device, a third message from the multi-capability device to the control panel, wherein the third message includes a packet configured according to the packet format to include one state or data value for each one of the at least two capabilities of the device.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising monitoring, by a control panel, an ambient noise via one or more microphones in the control panel. The implementations further include determining, by the control panel, whether the ambient noise is indicative of a security event. In some non-limiting implementations, the control panel may be configured to detect events based on various noise detection models, such as continued noise level above a threshold, noise associated with multiple short sharp impacts (e.g., an intruder trying to kick down a door), gunshot detection, voice recognition to identify a request for assistance (e.g., a person asking for help), glass break detection, or detection of a particular standardized pattern of beeps such as the temporal-three pattern of a smoke detector going off (according to ISO 8201 and ANSI/ASA S3.41 Temporal Pattern), the temporal-four pattern of a carbon monoxide detector going off, etc.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising downloading, from a backend server of a security/automation system of a premises, to a reset or replacement control panel of the security/automation system, backed-up device information of one or more devices in the security/automation system; and resuming operation of the one or more devices in the security/automation system, using the backed-up device information downloaded to the reset or replacement control panel.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising monitoring, by a control panel, an ambient noise via one or more microphones in the control panel. The implementations further include determining, by the control panel, whether the ambient noise includes an acoustic signature associated with a security event. In some implementations, the security event may comprise a glass break event. In some implementations, the acoustic signature may comprise a first sound followed by subsequent sounds. The first sound may comprise a thump sound, and the subsequent sounds may comprise crashing sounds.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising executing a diagnostic tool locally at a control panel; and providing, by the diagnostic tool, via a display of the control panel, information related to a signal strength of a connection between the control panel and at least one device configured to communicate with the control panel over the connection.
