Abstract

The disclosure may relate to a communications protocol between a mobile device and a control panel, or a mobile device and a server associated with the automation system. The communication protocol may reduce a size of data transferred between the mobile device and control panel ensuring the user does not experience latency on their mobile device, a large bill from their wireless broadband provider, and also does not miss important update or the like from the automation system. In some embodiments, a method for a security and/or automation is described. The method may comprise generating a communication to a user, coding the communication using a pre-established user-specific code index, and transmitting the coded communication to a device associated with the user. Coding the communication may further comprise reducing a size of the communication.
