In some implementations the hub device extends capabilities of low capability smart device to match capabilities of the highly capable smart devices of the same type, integrates functionality of multiple different device types—even across different communication protocols, and is configured to
streamline adding of new devices and commissioning of the hub device. In some implementations, hub device 180 further includes a local storage device for storing data
related to, or output by, smart devices of smart home environment 100. In some implementations, the data includes one or more of: video data output by a camera device, metadata output by a smart device, settings information for a smart device, usage logs for a smart device, and the like. In some implementations, smart home environment 100 includes a local storage device 190 for storing data related to, or output by, smart devices of smart home environment 100. In some implementations, the data includes one or more of: video data output by a camera device e. g. , a light ring formed on a periphery of a front cover plate, a button or a camera lens opening of a doorbell camera. In some implementations, the user interface 410 also includes one or more input devices 414, including user interface components that facilitate user input such as a keyboard, a mouse, a voice command input unit or microphone, a touch screen display, a touch sensitive input pad, a gesture capturing camera, a doorbell button or other input buttons or controls. Furthermore, some smart devices 204 use a microphone and voice recognition or a camera and gesture recognition to supplement or replace the keyboard. In some implementations, the smart device 204 includes one or more image/video capture devices 418 e. g.
video monitoring services
Which by all accounts is very reasonable.
Now, the saving part depends on whether or not you have the tools and equipment to put the fire out or whether your fire department is quick to respond to such an alarm.
