US Patent 11349707 Implementing security system devices as network nodes

This application is directed to an electronic device that operates as both a sound component for a doorbell and a component of a security system. For instance, the electronic device may receive a signal from the doorbell. The electronic device may then output a sound associated with the doorbell. Additionally, the electronic device may receive data from one or more sensors associated with the security system. Based on the data, the electronic device may perform one or more functions. For instance, if the electronic device sets a specific mode of the security system, the electronic device may output a sound representing an alarm of the security system. Additionally, the electronic device may send data to another electronic device, such as a server or a client device, that indicates that the one or more sensors detected an event.
