Insights Engine from Alarm.com Powers Next Generation of Smart Home and Business Solutions
January 03 2017 - 7:00PM
At CES® 2017 today, Alarm.com (Nasdaq:ALRM), the leading platform
for the intelligently connected home and business, launched the
Alarm.com Insights Engine, a multi-sensor learning capability that
recognizes and proactively responds to unexpected activity around a
property.
The Alarm.com Insights Engine is a proprietary machine learning
capability that safeguards homes and businesses by identifying
patterns and insights in the growing set of data generated by
devices and sensors in a connected property. By learning the
unique activity patterns of any home or business, the Insights
Engine can respond to unusual activity on behalf of the homeowner
by taking action through Alarm.com’s broad ecosystem of connected
devices.
“Alarm.com has always aggregated sensor data to create an
intelligent, proactive and contextually aware smart home
experience,” said Dan Kerzner, Alarm.com’s Chief Product
Officer. “The Insights Engine is an example of how we are
extending that approach with machine learning to define the next
generation of smart home solutions.”
Unexpected Activity Notifications
The first application of the Insights Engine is a new category
of intelligent awareness notifications that alert families to
potential safety or security issues around their home. If the
Insights Engine determines that the homeowner should be alerted, a
push notification is sent, all without the homeowner having to
create custom rules or notifications. For example:
- Early playtime: The front door to a home is frequently
opened and closed early on weekday mornings, as the family leaves
for work and school. On weekends, however, it’s typically not
opened until later in the day. When the door opens early on a
Saturday morning, an unexpected activity notification prompts the
homeowner that the kids are exploring the front yard.
- Date Night: A home’s front door is typically locked by 7:30 pm
on weekdays and 9:00 pm on weekends. While out at dinner, the
homeowners receive a notification that the door is still unlocked
at 9:15 pm on Saturday, and realize that the babysitter has
forgotten to lock it. Acting on this information, they lock the
door remotely using their Alarm.com app.
Adaptive Learning
The Alarm.com Insights Engine continually adapts based on a
range of factors including user input, changes in activity patterns
and external factors.
- Actionable notifications allow users to ‘train’ their smart
homes to learn their preferences faster and to quickly adjust to
new schedules. Notifications come with simple feedback options
including Yes or No on the usefulness of each notification,
enabling the Insights Engine to adapt quickly based on minimal user
input. A third feedback option lets users ‘pause’ notifications for
24 hours to incorporate a sudden but temporary schedule change such
as a sick day.
- Time-intelligent notifications adjust in sensitivity depending
on when an event takes place. An open garage door during
daylight hours, for example, may not trigger an immediate
notification. However, after sunset the system becomes more
sensitive to security risks and is more likely to immediately alert
the homeowner.
