Abstract: A door lock may include an exterior door lock plate assembly configured to be secured to a door. The door lock may include electronics configured to execute at least one function to support the door lock. A rechargeable energy storage element may be in electrical communication with the electronics, and be configured to store and supply electrical power to the electronics. An electrical conductor interface element may be in electrical communication with the rechargeable energy storage element. An electrical conductor may be electrically connected between the rechargeable energy storage element and the electronics. A strike plate and/or electrical connector thereat may provide electrical power to the electrical conductor interface element of the door lock using electrical conduction or induction such that power from the strike plate and/or electrical connector is supplied the rechargeable energy storage element when the door is in a closed state.

Abstract: A door lock interface may include a door lock plate assembly and a hands-free bump knob supported by the door lock plate assembly. The hands-free bump knob may be communicatively mechanically coupled to a bolt. The bump knob may be configured to (i) retract the bolt into a retracted state when the hands-free bump knob is pressed into an open state and (ii) extend the bolt into a non-retracted state when the hands-free bump knob is released from the open state into a closed state. The integrated door lock may further include an authentication module supported by the door lock plate assembly and communicatively coupled and configured to (i) enable a user to be authenticated, and (ii) prevent the hands-free bump knob from transitioning the bolt from the non-retracted state to the retracted state until the user is authenticated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for deterring a person at a door using a door lock deter light are disclosed. One method of deterring an unknown person at a door includes sensing that a person approaches a door at which an exterior door lock interface including an illumination device is located. The method further includes determining whether the person is unknown and, in response to determining that the person is unknown, activating the illumination device on the exterior door lock interface to be in a deterrence state. Otherwise, the method further includes activating the illumination device to be in a non-deterrence state or maintaining the illumination device in a deactivated state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for lighting control are described. An apparatus may include a processor, memory, a power component, a set of control buttons, and one or more radio components for lighting control. The apparatus may be a light control device associated with a home or automation system. The light control device may be a light switch cover with a cover plate that encapsulate a light switch. The light switch cover may have a radio, a battery, and control circuitry for lighting control.
