Connected scale device
First Claim
1. A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property, comprising:
- a connected scale device that is configured to;
receive a package;
determine a weight of the package; and
after determining the weight of the package, arm the connected scale device;
detect a change in a weight reading of the connected scale device for a period of time;
determine that the change in the weight reading does not satisfy a weight threshold or that the period of time does not satisfy a time threshold; and
based on determining that the change in the weight reading does not satisfy the weight threshold or determining that the period of time does not satisfy the time threshold, maintain an armed state without generating an alarm; and
a monitoring control unit that is configured to;
receive, from the connected scale device, data indicating that the connected scale device received the package and the connected scale device is armed; and
based on receiving the data indicating that the connected scale device received the package and the connected scale device is armed, communicate, to a user device of a resident of the property, a notification indicating that the connected scale device received the package.

Abstract
A monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property includes a connected scale device that is configured to receive a package, determine a weight of the package, and after determining the weight of the package, arm the connected scale device, and a monitoring control unit that is configured to receive, from the connected scale device, data indicating that the connected scale device received the package and the connected scale device is armed, and based on receiving the data indicating that the connected scale device received the package and the connected scale device is armed, communicate, to a user device of a resident of the property, a notification indicating that the connected scale device received the package.

24. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a connected scale device, a package; determining, by the connected scale device, a weight of the package; after determining the weight of the package; arming the connected scale device; and communicating, by the connected scale device, a notification indicating that the connected scale device received the package; detecting, by the connected scale device, a change in a weight reading of the connected scale device for a period of time; determining, by the connected scale device, that the change in the weight reading does not satisfy a weight threshold or that the period of time does not satisfy a time threshold; and based on determining that the change in the weight reading does not satisfy the weight threshold or determining that the period of time does not satisfy the time threshold, maintaining, by the connected scale device, an armed state without generating an alarm.
