Systems, Methods and Vehicles For Controlling Home Automation
First Claim
1. A vehicle for controlling home automation comprising:
- network interface hardware;
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the network interface hardware; and
input/output hardware communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors execute logic to;
receive a location signal indicative of a location of a vehicle;
present, automatically, an input portal on the input/output hardware when the location of the vehicle is within a predetermined range;
receive an actuation signal indicative of a mechanical input; and
transmit a control signal to a home automation computing device via the network interface hardware, wherein the control signal is operable to actuate a function of an electrical device communicatively coupled to the home automation computing device.

Abstract
A vehicle for controlling home automation may include network interface hardware, one or more processors, and input/output hardware. The one or more processors can be communicatively coupled to the network interface hardware. The input/output hardware can be communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors can execute logic to receive a location signal indicative of a location of a vehicle. An input portal can be presented automatically on the input/output hardware when the location of the vehicle is within a predetermined range. An actuation signal indicative of a mechanical input can be received. A control signal can be transmitted to a home automation computing device via the network interface hardware. The control signal can be operable to actuate a function of an electrical device communicatively coupled to the home automation computing device.
