INTERNET APPLIANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An alarm system controller comprising:
- (a) a packet data network interface;
(b) a security alarm system interface configured to communicate with security alarm sensors; and
(c) a controller configured to receive at least one input from the security alarm system interface, to process the at least one input to determine an alarm condition, and to communicate the alarm condition and a markup language interface through the packet data network interface.
