Alarm-clock triggered systems
First Claim
1. A method for a security and/or automation system, comprising:
- identifying, by a control panel, an alarm activation time of an alarm device associated with a user;
receiving, by the control panel, data about at least one previous wake time of the user collected by one or more sensors;
predicting, by the control panel, a wake time of a user based at least in part on identifying the alarm activation time and receiving the data collected by the one or more sensors about the at least one previous wake time of the user;
tracking, by the control panel, a duration to transition a room between temperatures;
determining, by the control panel, an adjustment time to automatically adjust a temperature of the room based at least in part on the predicted wake time of the user and the duration to transition between the temperatures; and
automatically adjusting, by the control panel, a temperature setting of a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system associated with the room at the adjustment time.

Abstract
In some embodiments, security and/or automation systems, collectively referred to as automation systems, may offer a user the comforts of automatically controlling HVAC settings based at least in part on an alarm. The automation system may provide automatically meet desired HVAC conditions at select times and provide a more comfortable living situation. In some embodiments, the increased comfort level may enable or ease household activities. For example, if a person sleeps with a cooler temperature, it may be harder for the person to get out of bed. But an automated HVAC system may adjust the temperature such that when a person desires to wake up, the temperature is comfortable and may ease a transition from day to night.

12. An apparatus for a security and/or automation system, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to; identify an alarm activation time of an alarm device associated with a user; receive data about at least one previous wake time of the user collected by one or more sensors; predict a wake time of a user based at least in part on identifying the alarm activation time and receiving the data collected by the one or more sensors about the at least one previous wake time of the user; track a duration to transition a room between temperatures; determine an adjustment time to automatically adjust a temperature of the room based at least in part on the predicted wake time of the user and the duration to transition between the temperatures; and automatically adjust a temperature setting of a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system associated with the room at the adjustment time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
