Abstract

A smart system includes a connector plug that fits into a bulb socket; a processor to control the smart system; and at least one of a receiver and a transmitter coupled to the processor for receiving or transmitting data.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

at least one connector plug that fits into a bulb socket;

at least one processor to control the smart system;

at least one sensor from one of;

camera, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, motion detector, thermal sensor, infrared sensor; and

at least one of a receiver and a transmitter coupled to the processor for receiving or transmitting data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the bulb socket comprises E12, E14, E26, E27, E28, E39, E40, B22, G4, G9, Gu10, K9, T8, T12 or suitable connector.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the receiver and transmitter support one or more of:
