Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improved graphical user interfaces suitable for monitoring and controlling home automation, security, and/or energy management systems. In some embodiments, rules of different types may be displayed in, and controlled from, a list view. The graphical user interface may display a list of rules associated with generic automation rules and context-associated automation rules. List items may be associated with suggested automation rules, notification rules, or both. The list of rule items may include items associated with a property context or an external condition context. Items may be included in the list based, at least in part, on the current property context, the current external condition context, or both. In some instances, the system may be communicatively coupled to a third-party information service.
