1. A method for security and/or automation systems, comprising:
- detecting a first sound event at a home entry point using one or more sensors;
detecting a pattern of at least one home automation system operation performed in association with the first sound event;
storing the first sound event;
automatically deriving at least one operating instruction based at least in part on the detected pattern;
detecting a second sound event at the home entry point using one or more sensors;
comparing the second sound event with the first sound event; and
initiating the at least one home automation system operation associated with the first sound event based at least in part on the derived at least one operating instruction.

Abstract
A method for security and/or automation systems is described. In one embodiment, the method may include detecting a first sound event at a home entry point using one or more sensors. The method may further include receiving input to associate at least one home automation system operation with the first sound event, and may further include storing the first sound event. The method may further include initiating the at least one home automation system operation associated with the first sound event.

10. An apparatus for security and/or automation systems, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to; detect a first sound event at a home entry point using one or more sensors; detecting a pattern of at least one home automation system operation performed in association with the first sound event; store the first sound event; automatically derive at least one operation instruction based at least in part on the detected pattern; detect a second sound event at the home entry point using one or more sensors; compare the second sound event with the first sound event; and initiate the at least one home automation system operation associated with the first sound event based at least in part on the derived at least one operating instruction. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by a processor to:
-
detect a first sound event at a home entry point using one or more sensors; detect a pattern of at least one home automation system operation performed in association with the first sound event; store the first sound event; automatically derive at least one operating instruction based at least in part on the detected pattern; detect a second sound event at the home entry point using one or more sensors; compare the second sound event with the first sound event; and initiate the at least one home automation system operation associated with the first sound event based at least in part on the derived at least one operating instruction.
