Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for an improved graphical user interfaces suitable for monitoring home automation, security, and/or energy management systems. In some embodiments, the graphical user interface may include a summary list of device states, including a security device state. In some embodiments, one or more configurable lists of context-associated state types may be provided. The summary list of device states may include, for example, one or more device state list items associated with a detected context. In some instances, the system may include configuration of meta-devices. Meta-devices may include a combination of multiple devices, multiple meta-devices, or both. In some embodiments, meta-devices may be associated with one or more sensors, feature controllers, and/or security systems. A meta-device may indicate any type of relationship between sensor and/or feature controllers such as, for example, a property feature, a physical location, and/or an area associated with a property.
