Patent number: 10830470Abstract: Methods and systems are described for operating a wall mounted thermostat. An example computer-implemented method includes receiving an indication of a physical touch to an exposed portion of a housing of the thermostat, wherein the housing is movable when touched. The method also includes determining a thermostat command associated with where the housing is touched and movement of the housing in response to the touch, and operating the thermostat according to the determined thermostat command.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Scott Bevan, James Beagley, Jason C. Flint

Patent number: 10346600Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a computer-implemented method to interface with an automation system is disclosed. One or more activation parameters and deactivation parameters may be identified associated with a mobile control panel. A concealed interface of the mobile control panel may be activated based at least in part on the one or more activation parameters. The activated interface of the mobile control panel may be deactivated based at least in part on one or more sleep parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Scott Bevan, James Beagley, Jason C.

Patent number: 10270274Abstract: A method for security and/or automation systems is described. In one embodiment, the method may include receiving, at a power adapter, power from a power supply, routing a first portion of the power received from the power supply to the doorbell unit, and routing a second portion of the power received from the power supply to both the device of the doorbell unit and the doorbell chime when the doorbell button is being actuated. In some cases, the power adapter is wired, via doorbell wiring, to at least one of a doorbell chime, a doorbell unit, and the power supply. In one example, the first portion of power is routed to power a device of the doorbell unit when a doorbell button of the doorbell unit is not being actuated.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: James Beagley, Jason C.

Patent number: 10198922Abstract: Methods and systems are described for monitoring a monitored space. An example computer-implemented method for monitoring a monitored space includes periodically emitting with an active infrared sensor a modulated infrared signal into a monitored space being monitored by a home automation system, receiving with the active infrared sensor the modulated infrared signals reflected from objects in the monitored space, and determining at least one of whether a number of objects in the monitored space have changed and whether any of the objects are moving.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: James Beagley, Jason C. Flint, Scott Bevan, Jeffrey Louis Jones
