1. A premises management system, comprising:
- a plurality of inter-connected premises management devices, each including one or more sensors that generate data about an environment; and
a user interface (UI) device to provide an interface for a user to interact with the system and control one or more of the premises management devices, the UI device including;
one or more proximity sensors,a first interface component configured to illuminate when an individual is detected within a first range by the one or more proximity sensors, anda second interface component to receive input from the individual and configured to illuminate when the individual is detected within a second range closer to the UI device than the first range.

Abstract
A user interface (UI) device for a premises management system may include at least one proximity sensor, a first interface component configured to illuminate in a first illumination style based on a first rule set when an individual is detected within a first range by the at least one proximity sensor, and a second interface component to receive input from the individual and configured to illuminate in a second illumination style based on a second rule set different from the first rule set when the individual is detected within a second range closer to the UI device than the first range.

15. A method of operating a user interface UI device for a premises management system, comprising:
-
illuminating a first interface component of a UI device in a first illumination style when an individual is detected within a first range from the UI device, wherein the first illumination style is selected based on a first rule set; and illuminating a second interface component of the UI device in a second illumination style when the individual is detected within a second range from the UI device closer than the first range, wherein the second illumination style is selected based on a second rule set different from the first rule set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
