  • Publication number: 20210200430
    Abstract: Systems and methods include an automation network comprising a gateway at a premises. The gateway is coupled to a remote network and is configured to control components at the premises including at least one of a thermostat and a lock. A sensor user interface (SUI) is coupled to the gateway and presented to a user via remote client devices. The SUI includes display elements for managing and receiving data of the components agnostically across the remote client devices. The display elements include an interactive icon comprising control regions. Each control region is configured to control a state change of a corresponding component.
