The smart devices that have a regular and reliable power source are referred to as “spokesman” nodes. These nodes are typically equipped with the capability of using a wireless
protocol to facilitate bidirectional communication with a variety of other devices in the smart home environment 100, as well as with the server system 164. In some implementations, one or more “spokesman” nodes operate as a smart home controller. On the other hand, the devices that are battery powered are the “low power” nodes. These nodes tend to be smaller than spokesman nodes and typically only communicate using wireless protocols that require very little power, such as Zigbee, ZWave, 6LoWPAN, Thread, Bluetooth, etc. As described, in some implementations, the smart devices serve as low power and spokesman nodes to create a mesh network in the smart home environment 100. In some implementations, individual low power nodes in the smart home environment regularly send out messages regarding what they are sensing, and the other low powered nodes in the smart home environment—in addition to sending out their own messages—forward the messages, thereby causing the messages to
travel from node to node i. e. , device to device throughout the smart home network 202. In some implementations, the spokesman nodes in the smart home network 202, which are able to communicate using a relatively high power communication protocol, such as IEEE 802. 11, are able to switch to a relatively low power communication protocol, such as IEEE 802.

2. Whenever motion is detected, you will receive instant smart alerts on your smart phone or tablet. You can keep tabs on what’s going on inside your house – whether it’s kids coming
home from school, pets lounging around the living room while you’re at work, or
simply you wanting to check in and make sure all is well at home when you’re on vacation. You can do all this conveniently through your phone or the Logitech app, as there is free cloud video recording as well as storage that can be accessed for 24 hours from your secure private cloud. There’s also a free 30 second timelapse briefing created from the last 24 hours. Bonus: Even if your camera happens to be stolen, the video footage is still safe and available.
