Abstract: A system and method for commissioning safety devices is disclosed. The method includes providing one or more safety devices configured to generate a signal responsive to detection of a hazard. The one or more safety devices are communicably coupled to each other via first and second communication networks. The method further includes receiving, by a controller, at any one of the one or more safety devices, a first data packet including attributes pertaining to commissioning of the one safety device. The method further includes transmitting, by the controller, the first data packet to the remaining safety devices of the one or more safety devices through the first communication network. The method further includes receiving, by the remaining safety devices of the one or more safety devices, the first data packet to enable respective commissioning of the remaining safety devices.

Abstract: A method and system for determining safety device coverage for a property. The method includes providing identifying information associated with a property to a mobile device; initiating safety device electronic beacon recognition on the mobile device; touring the property with the mobile device having safety device electronic beacon recognition initiated and obtaining safety device information; storing safety device information obtained during touring; and analyzing the safety device information to determine safety device coverage associated with the property.

Abstract: An access controller of a communications network includes a processor operable to send a smart-device access request to a network server of the communications network. The processor is further operable to receive a smart-device access advertisement based at least in part on: the network server receiving the smart-device access request; and a determination by the network server that the processor is within an access area. The processor is further operable to use the smart-device access advertisement to establish access between the processor and a smart-device of the communications network. Subsequent to establishing the access between the processor and the smart-device, the processor is operable to communicate with the smart-device whether or not the processor is within the access area.

Abstract: A method of testing a fire detector, the method including receiving a self-test request at the fire detector; initiating a self-test on the fire detector; emitting a test sound from the fire detector; detecting the test sound using a voice activated assistant device or a thermostat; analyzing the test sound; determining self-test results based on the test sound; and conveying the self-test results to an individual.

Abstract: A method of detecting when a first mobile device is left in a building including: determining that an alarm system of a building has been armed; detecting positional data of a first mobile device for a selected period of time after the alarm system has been activated; determining a location of the first mobile device after the selected period of time in response to the positional data, the location of the first mobile device being within the building; and activating an alarm in response to the location of the first mobile device being within the building.

Abstract: A method of determining a location of one or more sensors in a security system is provided. The method including: detecting a first wireless signal from a first sensor; determining a first signal strength of the first wireless signal; associating the first signal strength of the first wireless signal with a first location; detecting a second wireless signal from the first sensor; determining a second signal strength of the second wireless signal; associating the second signal strength of the second wireless signal with the second location; detecting a first sensor trigger using the first sensor; and determining that the first sensor trigger occurred at the second location.
