Outdoor furniture monitoring
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for determining whether an item located at an outdoor location of a property is being moved, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors that are located throughout the property, at least one of the one or more sensors being a motion beacon that is connected to the item that is located at the outdoor location of the property; and
a monitoring control unit that is configured to;
receive weather data that corresponds to at least one weather condition at the property;
based on the received weather data, determine a motion tolerance that corresponds to the at least one weather condition, for determining whether a force other than weather caused a movement of the item;
receive, from the motion beacon, motion data that indicates motion of the item;
compare the motion data to the motion tolerance;
based on comparing the motion data to the motion tolerance, determine that the motion data satisfies the motion tolerance; and
based on determining that the motion data satisfies the motion tolerance, performing a monitoring system event indicating that the force other than the weather caused the movement of the item, wherein the monitoring system event comprises sending a notification to a client device of a resident of the property indicating that the item is being moved.

Abstract
A method includes, receiving, by a monitoring server, weather data that corresponds to at least one weather condition at a location where a monitoring system monitors an item that is located at an outdoor location of a property and that includes a motion beacon, based on the received weather data, determining a motion tolerance for determining whether a force other than weather likely caused movement of the item, receiving, from the motion beacon, motion data that indicates motion of the item, comparing the motion data to the motion tolerance, based on comparing the motion data to the motion tolerance, determining whether to generate a monitoring system event indicating that a force other than weather likely caused the movement of the item, and performing the monitoring system event indicating that a force other than weather likely caused the movement of the item.

16. A computer-implemented method for determining whether an item located at an outdoor location of a property is being moved comprising:
-
receiving, by a monitoring control unit of a monitoring system, weather data that corresponds to at least one weather condition at the location where the monitoring system monitors the item that is located at the outdoor location of the property and that includes a motion beacon; based on the received weather data, determining, by the monitoring control unit, a motion tolerance that corresponds to the at least one weather condition for determining whether a force other than weather caused a movement of the item; receiving, by the monitoring control unit, from the motion beacon, motion data that indicates motion of the item; comparing, by the monitoring control unit, the motion data to the motion tolerance; based on comparing the motion data to the motion tolerance, determining, by the monitoring control unit, that the motion data satisfies the motion tolerance; and based on determining that the motion data satisfies the motion tolerance, performing the monitoring system event indicating that the force other than the weather caused the movement of the item;
the monitoring system event comprises sending a notification to a client device of a resident of the property to indicate the item is being moved.
