  • Patent number: 11726768
    Abstract: Systems and methods for updating software in a hazard detection system are described herein. Software updates may be received by, stored within, and executed by a hazard detection system, without disturbing the system's ability to monitor for alarm events and sound an alarm in response to a monitored hazard event. The software updates may be received as part of a periodic over-the-air communication with a remote server or as part of a physical connection with a data source such as a computer. The software updates may include several portions of code designed to operate with different processors and/or devices within the hazard detection system. The software updates may also include language specific audio files that can be accessed by the hazard detection system to play back language specific media files via a speaker.

  • Patent number: 11704994
    Abstract: Various smart doorbell arrangements are presented. Based on a measured temperature of the smart doorbell, operation of the smart doorbell device may be altered such that more heat or less heat is generated without affecting user-facing features. Based on another measured temperature, operation of the smart doorbell may be altered such that a chime that is electrically coupled to the smart doorbell device is not sounded in response to a doorbell actuation, but that a notification of the doorbell actuation is wirelessly transmitted by the smart doorbell device.

  • Patent number: 10741059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling latent anomalies in field devices are described herein. When an anomaly is detected, the system can earmark the presence of the detected anomaly with a flag or other notification, and announce the existence of the anomaly to a user. In some embodiments, a self-test may be distributed to devices in the field that may be potentially affected by the latent anomaly so that those devices can monitor for the presence of the anomaly and take appropriate action if detected.
