Mobile user interfaces for smart-home hazard detection devices
First Claim
1. A hazard detection system, comprising:
- a user interface application executed on a mobile device that communicates with a computer server system, the user interface application being configured to;
present a graphical interface that provides an option to enable and disable a night light feature of a hazard detector, wherein;
the night light feature activates a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide illumination;
receive user input that enables the night light feature via the graphical interface; and
transmit data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled and of a user account linked with the hazard detector to the computer server system;
the computer server system that communicates with a plurality of hazard detectors that are linked with a plurality of user accounts, wherein the computer server system is configured to;
receive the data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled and of the user account;
store an indication of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled by the user interface application, wherein the indication of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled is linked with the user account; and
transmit, to the hazard detector, data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled by the user interface application; and
the hazard detector comprising;
one or more hazard sensors;
one or more processors; and
a wireless interface, wherein the hazard detector is configured to;
receive, via the wireless interface, the data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled by the user interface application; and
enable the plurality of LEDs to provide illumination in response to the received data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled by the user interface application.

Abstract
Various arrangements are presented for controlling a night light feature of a hazard detector. A user interface application executed on a mobile device may output, a graphical interface that provides an option to enable a night light feature of the hazard detector. The application may transmit data indicative of the night light feature being enabled and of an associated user account to a computer server system. The computer server system may receive and store data indicative of the night light feature being enabled and of the user account. The hazard detector may receive from the computer server system data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled by the application. The hazard detector may enable the plurality of LEDs to provide illumination in response to the received data indicative of the night light feature of the hazard detector being enabled by the application.
