REMOTE DEVICE CONTROL AND ENERGY MONITORING BY ANALYZING AND APPLYING RULES

摘要

Techniques are described for providing remote device (e.g., thermostat, lighting, appliance, etc.) control and/or energy monitoring. A system monitors sensor data captured by one or more sensors that sense attributes relevant to user presence at one or more monitored properties and status of one or more energy consuming devices associated with the one or more monitored properties. The system analyzes the monitored sensor data and the monitored device status with respect to a set of one or more rules and performs an operation related to controlling the one or more energy consuming devices based on the analysis of the monitored sensor data and the monitored device status with respect to the set of one or more rules.

1. A method for performing an operation related to controlling an energy consuming device, the method comprising:
determining status of an energy consuming device that is located within a property monitored by a monitoring system; determining a geographic location of a user associated with the property monitored by the monitoring system; determining an operation related to controlling the energy consuming device in the property monitored by the monitoring system based on the determined geographic location of the user associated with the property monitored by the monitoring system and the determined status of the energy consuming device; and performing, using at least one processor, the determined operation related to controlling the energy consuming device.
