Weather based notification systems and methods for home automation
First Claim
1. An apparatus for generating weather related notices with a home automation system, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to;
sense a first set of weather data by a sensor about current weather conditions within a predefined proximity to a property;
receive a second set of weather data from a weather database, remote from the predefined proximity to the property, providing the weather data for an area that covers the predefined proximity;
determine a difference between the first set of weather data and the second set of weather data;
receive status information about at least one barrier of the property monitored by the home automation system; and
generate at least one notice associated with adjusting at least a second barrier different from the at least one barrier based at least in part on the first set of weather data, the second set of weather data, and status information, wherein the first set of weather data is given a higher priority than the second set of weather data in generating the at least one notice based at least in part on the determination.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for generating weather related notices using features of a home automation system. According to at least one embodiment, an apparatus for generating weather related notices with a home automation system includes a processor, a memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the processor to receive weather data about current weather conditions, receive status information about at least one barrier of a property monitored by the home automation system, and generate at least one notice based at least in part on the weather data and the status information.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
-
sense a first set of weather data periodically by a sensor, wherein the first set of weather data comprises at least current weather conditions within a predefined proximity to a building; receive a second set of weather data from a weather database, remote from the predefined proximity to the property, providing the weather data for an area that covers the predefined proximity; determine a difference between the first set of weather data and the second set of weather data; receive status information concerning at least one barrier or at least one appliance of a building; and generate a notice providing a recommended change in status of at least a second barrier different from the at least one barrier or at least a second appliance different from the at least one appliance based at least in part on the first set of weather data, the second set of weather data, and the status information, wherein the first set of weather data is given a higher priority than the second set of weather data in generating the at least one notice based at least in part on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method for processing weather information with a home automation system, comprising:
-
receiving a first set of weather information at a control panel of the home automation system from a sensor located within a predefined proximity to a property, wherein the first set of weather information comprises at least weather data about current weather conditions; receiving a second set of weather information from a weather database, remote from the predefined proximity to the property, providing the weather data for an area that covers the predefined proximity; determining a difference between the first set of weather information and the second set of weather information; receiving status information about at least one condition associated with the property; and
generating a recommendation for changing at least a second condition different from the at least one condition based at least in part on the first set of weather information, the second set of weather information, the status information, and at least one predetermined rule, wherein the first set of weather information is given a higher priority than the second set of weather information in generating the recommendation based at least in part on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
