Abstract: A first host device in a first network of a plurality of networks may receive, from an intermediate client device, a request to enroll the intermediate client device into the first network, including receiving a candidate inter-network encryption key. The first host device may determine whether any other intermediate client device is already enrolled in the first network. The first host device may, in response to determining that no other intermediate client device is already enrolled in the first network, set the candidate inter-network encryption key as an inter-network encryption key of the first host device for encrypting communications between the plurality of networks. The first host device may send, to the intermediate client device for forwarding to a second host device in a second network of the plurality of networks, an encrypted message that is encrypted using the inter-network encryption key of first host device.

Abstract: The occupancy status of a building space may be determined by sensing an indication of motion in the building space, in response to sensing the indication of motion in the building space, starting an occupied time period having a length during which the building space is indicated as being occupied, determining a measure related to a number of subsequent sensed indications of motion in the building space during the occupied time period, and selectively adjusting the length of the occupied time period based on the measure related to the number of subsequent sensed indications of motion in the building space during the occupied time period.

Abstract: A building automation system may adjust operation of a building system based upon information regarding the relative location of one or more users of the building automation system. In some embodiments, a mobile device having location services for determining a location of the mobile device may provide this information. A mobile device may include a user interface, a memory for storing two or more predetermined geo-fences each defining a different sized region about a home of a user of the mobile device and a controller operatively coupled to user interface and the memory, the controller configured to accept a selection of one of the two or more predetermined geo-fences via the user interface. The controller may report when the location of the mobile device crosses the selected one of the two or more predetermined geo-fences to a remote device. Other geofencing approaches are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a novel framework for programmatically modifying device capabilities of devices within a location-monitoring system to create unique, specifically configured host-client device connections to effectuate monitoring of the location. The disclosed framework can effectuate modifications of devices to alter their type of device operational capabilities—a host device can be configured to operate as a client and/or a host-proxy for another host, and a client device and be configured to operate as a host, and the like. The disclosed framework enables devices to be programmed such that non-native capabilities are provided to devices that modify how they operate within a monitoring system, as well as how they interact with other devices within such system.

Abstract: A system that implements wireless communication with replay protection for lower power building control applications. In one example, a battery-powered device includes a counter value with each message transmitted to an always-on device. If the always-on device receive an invalid counter value, instead of sending back an acknowledgement, it sends back a message containing an updated counter value. The battery-powered device may keep its receiver on after sending a message for at least a period of time, the battery-powered device receives the message and updates its counter with the received updated counter value. Since it did not receive an acknowledgement, it retries its original message, this time with the updated counter value. The retry message is likely to be successfully transmitted.

Abstract: A building automation system includes a host device and a plurality of client devices that can communicate with the host device via a frequency hopping protocol. The host device is configured to create and/or store a frequency hopping sequence including a plurality of ordered predetermined frequencies, and listens for communications from the plurality of client devices. Each cycle through the frequency hopping sequence is considered to be a channel. The host device may define a plurality of channels, with some of the plurality of channels reserved for routine messaging between the host device and the plurality of client devices and some of the plurality of channels reserved at times for higher bandwidth data communications.
