1. A method for security or automation systems, comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, information regarding a delivery of a package to a first location;
determining that a mobile robotic device and the first device are part of a predetermined group of devices operating in a neighborhood network based at least in part on receiving the information regarding the delivery of the package;
determining that the mobile robotic device is wirelessly networked with the first device when the mobile robotic device is within a predetermined distance of the first device or that the mobile robotic device is at a predetermined location based at least in part on determining that the mobile robotic device and the first device are operating in the neighborhood network;
transporting, by the mobile robotic device, the package to a drop-off location based at least in part on determining that the mobile robotic device is wirelessly networked with the first device when the mobile robotic device is within the predetermined distance of the first device or that the mobile robotic device is at the predetermined location; and
initiating a notification for the first device based at least in part on transporting the package.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for communicating action instructions between a home automation system and a mobile robotic device. In some embodiments, methods may comprise receiving, from a first device, information regarding a delivery of a package to a first location, determining that a mobile robotic device and the first device are part of a predetermined group of devices operating in a neighborhood network, transporting, by the mobile robotic device, the package to a drop-off location, and initiating a notification for the first device based at least in part on transporting the package.

11. A method for security or automation systems, comprising:
-
determining, at a first device, information regarding a delivery of a package to a first location; determining that a mobile robotic device and the first device are part of a predetermined group of devices operating in a neighborhood network based at least in part on receiving the information regarding the delivery of the package; determining that the mobile robotic device is wirelessly networked with the first device when the mobile robotic device is within a predetermined distance of the first device or that the mobile robotic device is at a predetermined location based at least in part on determining that the mobile robotic device and the first device are operating in the neighborhood network; generating a request to transport the package to a drop-off location based at least in part on determining that the mobile robotic device is wirelessly networked with the first device when the mobile robotic device is within the predetermined distance of the first device or that the mobile robotic device is at the predetermined location; and transmitting the request to the mobile robotic device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
