Abstract

Methods and systems of providing home automation information via communication with a vehicle. A home automation system can determine a state of the home and determine when occupants enter a home. The home automation system can identify an occupant and monitor the status and location of the occupant in the home and determine a status change for the occupant, such when the occupant leaves or is scheduled to leave the home, the occupant going to sleep, experiencing a health crisis, or entering an area of the home the occupant is not authorized to enter. The home automation system can send alerts and information to a vehicle operation system of a vehicle and to a communication device of a user. The alerts can include information related to the identity and the status of the occupant and information related to the state of the home.
