1. A non-transitory, tangible, and computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors of an electronic device that configure the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a sensor of the electronic device, an indication that a measured level has surpassed a notification threshold;
generate an advertisement packet including an event notification for broadcast over a low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol;
communicate the advertisement packet including the event notification over the low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol;
receive a hush request from a remote device to suppress the event notification;
determine whether the hush request is valid by determining whether the hush request is signed with a hush signature that is based at least upon authorization credentials shared via a remote service; and
if the hush request is valid, suppress the event notification.

Abstract
Methods and devices may be used to remotely hushing an event notification by receiving, from a sensor of the electronic device, an indication that a measured level has surpassed a notification threshold. In response to the indication, generating an advertising packet including an event notification for broadcast over a low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol and communicating the advertising packet including the event notification over the low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol.

9. An electronic device comprising:
-
a sensor; one or more processors; and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to configure the one or more processors to; receive, from the sensor, an indication that a measured level has surpassed a notification threshold; generate an advertisement packet including an event notification for broadcast over a low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol; communicate the advertisement packet including the event notification over the low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol; receive a hush request from a remote device to suppress the event notification; determine whether the hush request is valid by determining whether the hush request is signed with a hush signature that is based at least upon authorization credentials shared via a remote service; and if the hush request is valid, suppress the event notification. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 20)

13. A method for hushing an event notification comprising:
-
receiving, from a sensor of a device, an indication that a measured level has surpassed a notification threshold; generating an advertisement packet including an event notification for broadcast over a low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol; communicating the advertisement packet including the event notification over the low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol; receiving a hush request to suppress the event notification; propagating the hush request to other devices; propagating the event notification as remote event notifications to the other devices, prior to the propagating the hush request, to cause the other devices to indicate that an event has occurred at the device; and propagating the hush request even when the event notification is unhushable, the hush request being configured to hush the remote event notifications at the other devices without hushing the device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

21. A method for hushing an event notification comprising:
-
receiving, from a sensor of a device, an indication that a measured level has surpassed a notification threshold; generating an advertisement packet including an event notification for broadcast over a low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol; identifying the event notification as unhushable if the measured level exceeds an unhushable level for a measurement type corresponding to the sensor, if the measurement type matches an unhushable type, if the event notification has previously been hushed, or if a remote device is not proximal to the device, or any combination thereof; and communicating the advertisement packet including the event notification over the low power wireless point-to-point communication protocol. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
