    Abstract: The various implementations disclosed herein pertain to methods and systems for detecting a state of monitored objects in a premises. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computer system that is communicably coupled to sensor devices. The computer system receives and processes information of acoustic signals against a database of stored acoustic signatures characterizing predefined acoustic signals generated by electrically non-powered passive tags in response to physical motion of respective monitored objects associated with the passive tags. It receives a first acoustic signal characterized by a first acoustic signature and generated by a first passive tag. In response to the receiving, based on the first acoustic signature and information in the database, it identifies the first monitored object associated with the first acoustic signature, determines a first state of the first monitored object, and provides a notification of the first state to an occupant of the premises.

    Abstract: A computer system is communicably coupled to one or more sensor devices. The computer system obtains a database of stored acoustic signatures characterizing predefined acoustic signals generated by passive tags in response to physical motion of respective monitored objects associated with the passive tags. A first acoustic signal characterized by a respective acoustic signature and generated by a first passive tag is detected. In response, and based on the respective acoustic signature and information in the database, a first monitored object associated with the respective acoustic signature is identified, and a first state of the first monitored object is determined. The determined first state is stored in the database, and an indication of the first state is provided to an associated monitoring service.

    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices and systems for detecting trigger events and executing security protocols. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system that is coupled to a smart device system and a client device, the smart device system located at a premises. The server system: (1) detects an unverified user within the premises based on data collected by the smart device system, wherein the data is communicated to the server system via the wide area networks; (2) provides a notification regarding the unverified user to authorized users via the wide area networks; (3) receives, from a first authorized user, a first user input in response to the notification; and (4) in response to receiving the first user input, executes a security operation at the premises based on the first user input.

    Abstract: A computer system is communicably coupled to one or more sensor devices. The computer system obtains a database of stored acoustic signatures characterizing predefined acoustic signals generated by passive tags in response to physical motion of the passive tags. The passive tags are associated with non-provisioned devices, and the acoustic signatures are associated with sets of executable instructions for provisioning the non-provisioned devices. A first acoustic signal characterized by a respective acoustic signature and generated by a first passive tag is detected. In response, and based on the respective acoustic signature and information in the database, a first non-provisioned device associated with the respective acoustic signature is identified, and a first set of executable instructions for provisioning the first non-provisioned device is identified. After, the computer system causes execution of the first set of executable instructions, thereby causing to commence a software process for provisioning the first non-provisioned device.
