Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for managing a premises. An example system may comprise a gateway device located at a premise and in communication with a plurality of premise devices. A user interface may be output to a user. The user interface may represent at least one floor of the premise. A premise device of the plurality of premise devices may be represented as located on a floor of the premises.

1 . A method comprising:

 a floor plan indicating at least a portion of the premises, and 
 a device icon indicating a state of at least one premises device located at the premises; 
   receiving, by the server and from the first computing device, data indicative of a modification to the user interface; and   causing output, by the server, on a second computing device and based on at least a portion of the data indicative of the modification to the user interface, of the user interface.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first computing device comprises at least one of a client device located at the premises, a client device located external to the premises, or a touchscreen device located at the premises. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second computing device comprises at least one of a client device located at the premises, a client device located external to the premises, or a touchscreen device located at the premises. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the data indicative of the modification to the user interface is received via the user interface caused to be output on the first computing device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the causing output of the user interface on the first computing device comprises causing output, via a web portal of the server, of the user interface on the first computing device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the premises comprises settings data associated with the user interface. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the modification to the user interface comprises a modification associated with the device icon. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 a plurality of premises devices located at a premises;   a server located external to the premises and configured to communicate with the plurality of premises devices; and   a first computing device configured to:
 receive state data that indicates a state of at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices; 
 cause output, based on the state data and data associated with the premises, a user interface, wherein the data associated with the premises is received from the server and the user interface comprises:
 a floor plan indicating at least a floor of the premises, and 
 a device icon indicating the state of the at least one premises device; 
 
 receive user input modifying the user interface; and 
 send, to the server, data indicative of the modification to the user interface, 
   wherein the server is configured to cause output, on a second computing device and based on the data indicative of the modification to the user interface, of the user interface.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the first computing device comprises at least one of a client device located at the premises, a client device located external to the premises, or a touchscreen device located at the premises. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the second computing device comprises at least one of a client device located at the premises, a client device located external to the premises, or a touchscreen device located at the premises. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the user input modifying the user interface is received via the user interface. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the server is configured to cause output of the user interface via a web portal. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the data associated with the premises comprises settings data associated with the user interface. 
     
     
         14 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by a server located external to a premises and from a plurality of premises devices, state data indicating a state of at least one premises device of the plurality of premises devices;   receiving, by the server and from a first computing device, data indicating a modification to a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises:
 a floor plan indicating at least a floor of the premises, and 
 a device icon indicating the state of the at least one premises device; and 
   causing output, by the server, on a second computing device and based on the data indicating the modification to a user interface and the state data, of the user interface.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the first computing device comprises at least one of a client device located at the premises, a client device located external to the premises, or a touchscreen device located at the premises. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the second computing device comprises at least one of a client device located at the premises, a client device located external to the premises, or a touchscreen device located at the premises. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the data indicating the modification to the user interface comprises settings data associated with the user interface. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the data indicating the modification to the user interface is based on user input to the first computing device. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the user input is received via the user interface caused to be output on the first computing device. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the server is configured to cause output of the user interface via a web portal.
