Automated reporting of account and sensor information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving sensor configuration information from a remote security, monitoring and automation (SMA) controller;
associating the sensor configuration information with account configuration information received from a remote server;
modifying the sensor configuration information and the account configuration information to a format compatible with a remote central station alarm monitoring system; and
transmitting the modified sensor configuration information and account configuration information to the remote central station alarm monitoring system.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided for receiving sensor configuration information from a remote security, monitoring and automation (SMA) controller, storing that sensor configuration information, and transmitting the sensor configuration information to a remote central station alarm monitoring system in a form usable by the remote central station. In addition, a mechanism is provided for receiving account configuration information from a remote node, storing that account configuration information, and transmitting the account configuration information to the remote central station in a form usable by that remote central station. In this manner, inefficiencies during installation and modification of a security system using the SMA controller can be avoided through automated provision of the information.
