Abstract
A Bluetooth/WiFi bridge includes a computing device in an interior of a dwelling with an internet-facing radio, and a second radio communicating with one or more non-internet-connected devices. The computing device provides for coordination of information flow between the two radios. The computing device is configured to enable the two radios to communicate and take incoming and outgoing information from one radio into a format that the other radio can transmit and receive. An audio sensor is configured to receive a sound from the one or more non-internet connected devices. The audio sensor being coupled to a logic circuit in the computing device. The internet facing radio is configured to communicate through a router to the internet and the non-internet devices connect to the internet via one of the radios through the computing device through the internet facing radio through the router to the internet, with the bridge communicating with a data center.
