  • Management of a smart home automation community
    Patent number: 12212574
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for property manager are described. A device may transmit a request to access information from a control panel of a property associated with a smart home automation community. The request may include credentials specific to a property management personnel. In response to the transmitted request, the device may retrieve the information from the control panel of the property based in part on an authentication of the credentials. The authentication of the credentials may include receiving, from an additional device of an occupant of the property, an acknowledgement message to the request. Once the information is retrieved from the control panel, the device may generate an account associated with the control panel of the property based in part on the information, where the account grants a level of access to the property management personnel.
