Abstract
A method and system architecture for automation and alarm systems is provided. An intelligent fire detection sensor is provided that provides input data to a gateway device for processing and facilitates two-way communication with users and a third-party monitoring service. The system architecture is hierarchically organized, allowing devices to process system data differently at different levels of the hierarchy. Processing of at least some of the sensor data is overseen by the gateway device, which may determine, based on the processing, to activate one or more secondary sensors at the fire detector (such as an optical camera). The gateway device and fire detection sensor may interact cooperatively to process voice commands and/or gesture data, and to recognize false alarms.
