  • Patent number: 11972279
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described for tailoring instructions for configuring a smart device based on feedback received from the smart device and/or based on feedback received from a device that is separate from the smart device. Some implementations additionally or alternatively relate to utilization of data corresponding to previous installations of similar smart devices to tailor provided instructions in order to mitigate the reoccurrence of past issues during configuration of smart devices. Some implementations additionally or alternatively relate to proactively suggesting and/or providing, to a user, guidance related to a smart device in response to determining the smart device is to be configured by the user and/or in response to determining a complete configuration of the smart device has not occurred.

  • Patent number: 10764735
    Abstract: Systems and Methods disclosed herein relate to providing control of smart devices via data provided from or to a doorbell, via an application programming interface (API). The data provided by the doorbell may be submission data related to the doorbell, while received data may be reception data related to one or more smart devices, a smart-device environment structure hosting the smart devices, or both. Based upon the reception data and/or the submission data, a status of the doorbell and/or of the smart devices may be modified.
